Winter Chart Redux

Yessir, turn left at the fork in the road. TURN LEEEFT!

So yeah, I made Second Wind. Here we go through Door #1:

So tada, swap Sunday morning team practice for afternoon league practice, and in hindsight it was genius to have scheduled plyos for the past six weeks, I'm perfectly acclimated to having a hard practice Tuesday night. And that's it.

But.

It's up and at 'em both weekend days, no more lazy Sundays until I have to leave the house at four. It's a small thing, but I don't overlook small things. I don't make mountains out of molehills, but after all a molehill is still a hill that a mole lives in. You'd keep an eye on that if it was in your yard. So I might lean harder on Tuesdays and Thursdays to be lazy days, and you know that by lazy I mean recovery. Which maybe means less writing.

Even so, it would be be one thing if I got up and knocked out my practice and then went back home. But it's the other thing, I have to go back and teach referees at least every other week; those Sundays will be the trickiest of schedules, the split. It's always tempting to not go home in between, just stay out and eat chicken and kill time or oh throw in an extra practice, but I have actual tasks to get done on Sundays, reviewing and planning tasks and recording bills and so forth. So, that. Will never happen. Know thyself.

So again, lean on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'm friggin lucky I have them.

I'm just going to leave this here for a minute, I actually haven't been to a Second Wind practice yet because the day after tryouts I got the flu. So I should probably get a few of those under my belt before I start jabbering about a fitness chart.
