Practice today was split into several groups we had the easy run group, the mile time trial group, and the workout group.
In Mile time trial action Jacob used the power of the singlet to hold off Matt OC. It was a close race all the way down to the last 50 meters. In a close third was Martini who held onto the leaders throughout the race. It was a good race by all and showed how far many have come. KEEP UP THE TRAINING!
The workout group today had an excellent day on the bubble track as they did a ladder type of workout. It was a tough run but now a long rest will follow up until districts were the Desmet track team will Bring Tha Speed.
One of the biggest surprises of the day came from the appearance of Mr. Jordan Nikolaisen. A top 7 member from the 2007 Cross Country Team and now current Murray State student, Jordan stopped by practice today to bring back good memories of rolled ankles and Chris France.
Quote of the Day: “You have to use Hooked on Phonics rules”- Boyle explaining the rules behind his new diet which says you can only eat foods that start with vowels.
Best Dressed Award: Bumblebee, Lance, Banana... all words used to describe today’s best dressed award winner. If you did not notice the man decked out all in yellow then you missed one of Matt OC’s finest wardrobe moments. Matt used his yellow color scheme to do work like a boss in the mile time trial finishing with a sub 4:50 time behind Jacob the sailor.
Potter vs Food
Potter=1
Food=4
Let's set the record straight. There have been plenty of workouts lunch, or in Saturday's case, apsolutely nothing, hasen't come back after.
ReplyDeleteBut after 3 straight last week (More times then I can remember throwing up in almost 18 years of life) it was good to add one to the scoreboard for the good guys.
Glad to see the blog is back boys, I must admit my evenings just haven't been the same lately. I'll do what I can to give "food" a few more points over the next few workouts.
ReplyDeleteOne question - where is the flag short photo??
The Flag Shorts photo along with a nice post for Saturday has just been posted. Check right below here.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love the title and the scoreboard. Nice work Zach! It's much appreciated that you could stop managing your Backyard Baseball team long enough to write this post.
ReplyDeleteAnd Coach, we are glad you enjoy it so much, and that the end of the hiatus makes your evenings normal once again.
I'll be able to do a few more post but when playoff season comes I might go back on break again... gotta prioritize ya know

Hey guys. I didn't know if you stopped blogging or not. I was getting worried. The flag shorts are awesome and thanks for the mention of me in the blog. I hope it was good memories you talked about. It seems like all your workouts are going good and everyone is running fast. Go get em at districts. Especially it being at home.
ReplyDeleteJust think no ceilings.
