ALL GOOD THINGS...

As of Monday morning, our field hockey team is officially in post-season....and this will quickly wind into a long off-season. This weekend we had our last two games of the season and even though we out husteled the other teams, it turned out to be an unfavorable way to end a heart-breaking and emotionally draining season.
Now that season is over i have another thing to start worrying about besides field hockey.....I have to worry about staying in shape. As much as practice is a pain in the butt and it takes up so much time, it was a great disciplinary tool. Everyday it was required that we run our 3 mile loop, and you KNEW that we would have sprints and running drills in practice. The future looks grimm to me now because it's getting colder and the excuses to not run are greater and greater. First of all, there is the treadmill.....even if i run a few miles a day on that it doesn't do as much as actually running because it does half of the work. Then, there is the excuse that it's too cold. Whatever the case is i need to find a motivational tool that will allow me to keep my 8 miles by December 17 goal for the marathon training!!!
