[QUOTE="DC, post: 73950"] [b]Tuesday, 20 June[/b] Tough day ahead. I woke up this morning with my nose blocked and eyes burning/itching, must be an allergy relapse! I figure that either my medication is not strong enough or my allergies have gotten worse..tough one. Anyhow, I have changed my off season training plan a tad bit. Instead of doing plyometrics, i have decided to just do the nordic track cross country trainer, i did it today and it replaces the plyometrics in terms of leg strength. Not only will it increase my speed and strength, but it will also have the effects on my cardiovascular endurance. Today, looked very daunting when I woke up. I sat around a lot today, watched some SportsCenter, then watched a few episodes of Futurama, what a great show! The comedy is always new and so witty! Around 2:55 i watched the England v Sweden game, a game England could have very easily lost. Not an inspiring performance by any means. Afterwards, i went down into the basement for my nordic track workout. It was tough i used to be able to put in a solid 30 minutes on it prior to my last rugby season, but now it was hard to put in 10! So i just did 10 minutes at a little faster than normal pace, it felt good, my legs were rubber afterwards! Once the hardest part of my day was completed, i went out and kicked. Not quite my best day, i wasnt hitting the ball with the sweetspot of my foot to good, and i wasn't as focused as i usually am. I still managed to get 30 over, and i was pleased to see that once i focused i was really pounding the ball. My passing was good, i decided to try out the Dwayne Peel pass training. Where you use a pole and stand 5m or more out and see how many times you can hit it, i hit it all 20 times, looks like ive got two up on you Mr. Peel! Well until another day of exciting off season, im signing off, and will look foreward to buckling down tomorrow on my kicking! [i]"Sweat plus sacrifice equals success."[/i] -Charlie Finley [/QUOTE]
