Woke up, go t freshen up, quickly got ready for practice, made protein shake, had 2 slices of wheat bread with chocolate hazel nut spread, left for practice with Renee but Erin Jackson drove.
We did warm up followed by stretches, 2 laps fast regular skating, we had so many people for the practice today, the pace line was big and huge, there were nearly 40 skaters including Joey, Michael cheeks, Justin and Kalon, so imagine how much you are tired sitting back drafting behind till it’s your turn, you are almost exhausted when you have to run your laps, I don’t know where you are going to see this…. After 2 laps immediately we lined up to 1 lap fast, then we did lunges, duck walk and track, walk, track and run.
We had Michael Cheeks giving us Pep talk about corners, he is so amazing in corners, so he showed us what he does, we all one by one in a group of 6 skaters @ a time worked and tired to implement on it. We did intervalsx7 sets, 5 laps relayx2 sets. Practice was hard but It’s a good feeling
We had outdoor practice, changed wheels, had fiber bar before the session, usually we do off-skate before, it seemed like was going to rain, so we skated first, we did warm up 1 lap in the front, push drill, it was supposed to be 2 person push drill of one stretch, but I did not have a partner, so I had to team with Paul and drew, we were three, so we had more work to do than others, we did that like 3 sets each.
We did 10k race, I was happy with the way I skated indoor and outdoor, my shins responded very well especially in outdoor, also frustrating @ times because I don’t know when it starts hurting.
We did off-skate, explode jump onto one side, hop with 1 leg till the cone and repeat the other side and move further till you finish, low walk with very small steps, isolating by lifting one leg near the calf, high jump till the chest @ two stages which is in the middle and the end, frog jumps, all exericesx3 sets, we lined up and did more, we did 1 leg bouncex5,1 leg high jump, knee to the chest, again 5 bounces, now 1 leg small jump,5 bounces, with just standing up, this is continuous, all the above 3x 2sets. Had a protein shake.
We went to Jonathan’s place, we had Mexican fiesta, our Mexican girls also with the help with Erin Jackson were awake till like 1 am got things ready for Mexican taco, Simkins family that they shopped vegetarian especially for me, so nice of them, so I had tortilla with whatever was available, I liked them, it was good, for the first time In USA I drank sprite, the kids were all playing in the swimming pool, I met Tony’s two nieces and it was so nice to meet the two of them, they were cute…
Next week is Tucker’s birthday, so we also got to eat cake before leaving, we hanged out in their place for more than 2 hours than left, it was raining heavily, reached home and fed horses and Lamas, actually we have chickens, roosters, rabbits, when the boys went to feed the two roosters, when they opened the cage, they ran away, we caught one but other one ran away and we could not find them. Renee was upset with that.
Had shower, put full week’s clothes to washing machine followed by dryer, I had Pop tart as a evening snack and had Maagi noodles and Yogurt for dinner, we all i.e. boys, drew maru, maria, justin stelly, kalon and me watched couple of movies on tv and i slept…
