Most the team was competing at SLUH today. More complete coverage will probably be up tomorrow.
As for the rest of us, it was time for the big pre-conference workout. I was running miles and 400s. Seiler, Martini, and Austin had 1200s and 400s. The 800 guys (Scherping, Waller, and O’Connor) had 600s and 300s. All of us looked really strong today and hit our paces in the gloomy May weather. With coach at the meet, Potter and I helped will Scherping through the 2nd half of his workout. After the mile cooldown it was time for core. As part of it, Scherping and I added the Boyle Fist Pump workout to prep us for the uncoming Prom.
We had some more good times hanging out and drinking chocolate milk in the AD office. Martini might have made a breakthrough discovery about why we drink chocolate milk instead of white milk. He proposed: Chocolate milk has a kid on a bike on the carton. Extreme. White milk probably has a kid reading a book. Boring.
Now it’s time to rest up and get focused for MCCs on Thursday.
Quote of the Day: “Darn it! Looks like I missed a great workout.”- Coach Traughber when he got back to DeSmet after the meet and was checking out the times from the workout.
Joke of the Day: “Kevin! You should call me tonight and then call coach and link the calls so I can surprise him and say ‘Hi coach!’ and tell him all about the workout.”- Scherping during core. Unfortunately for Brian, T-bone made it back to DeSmet before we left so we just told him about the workout in person.
Best Dressed: kabes & Matt OC. They both brought out some throwback jerseys for the workout. Matt had the mesh 80s jersey; Kevin had the nearly see-though jersey of the 90s. No better way to get ready for the conference meet than to go back to DeSmet roots for extra inspiration.
Title: Both Seiler and Scherping came to practice straight from the AP Psychology test. Even after working their brains for around 3 hours, they had the focus to have a great workout. Big test, big workout. We know one went well. The other we won’t hear about for awhile.
PS- Sorry about the long layover with posts. Bear with us. It’s crunch time at DeSmet right now for the seniors so we’ve been pretty busy. But! We’re working on some sweet posts from last week that should be up soon.
Happy Reading & Running!

Later on you may even be able to use free weights while you are balancing on the ball. As you work out on the ball, you use more muscles than you would while doing the same exercises without the use of the ball. This helps you to practice various abdominal exercise and thus will keep you interested in the workout regime.
