My Day-September 15, 2010

Today was a good day, but long. I woke up at 5:45 for early morning training. We had a leg day which was good because I had an upper body day yesterday. And as we all know, or should, is that you should NOT work the same muscle group within 24-48 hours of each other. Rest is just as important as the work you do. The muscle is rebuilding during the rest. And then that is where good nutrition comes in. Making sure that you are getting a mix of protein and carbs after workouts to rebuild the tissues and also replenish glycogen stores for you next workout. Anyways, after that workout I had an hour to kill before class so I hung out with some buddies and then went to writing class. Let me tell you though, that class is going to get the better of me. I'm confused the whole time my professor is talking. The day ended off with a few more classes that were quite a bit easier. I was at the university for 8 hours today though, it sucked. I got home and ate and then had a bit of a nap before I went to practice. We worked on a lot of set plays today which was good but I felt like I just wasn't getting my head on any ball coming into the box, which is my job in the attacking third. Tomorrow will be a different story though. We had to end practice early because of the wind that came out of nowhere. We saw the dark clouds coming in and then the wind came and starting blowing the balls all over the field and blowing equipment everywhere. And then the rain came. After practice I came home and ate a nice big plate of pasta to replenish the glycogen that was lost and then I relaxed for a bit and then hit the hay.
