Got Stronger yesterday, with Ken.  Did Back and Biceps as I suspected.  Got decently sore for today, which is a) unusual and b) a good change.  I also hit two PRs, I think.  I'm gonna do Legs again tonight since I'm taking the weekend "off" to play (Getting Better again!  Finally...) at Get Ho Ho Ho.  Our team is looking like they'll be pretty middling, but that means we'll hopefully get some good variation in competition.  If the weather isn't godawful, I think I'll really enjoy cleating up again.  I just want to play again...

It's been about 6 weeks since Clambake.  I was pleased with my play (mostly) at that.  In the meantime, I've been doing some real Work, I feel.  Hopefully I will be seeing the benefits on field.  Toad and Katie are coming and it'll be nice playing with them again.  I'm really anxious to see what Katie's like on the field now, since the last time I saw her play was at Girhales, I think.  And she was still mighty intense.  It's 4/3 and I think we have like 3 or 4 women, so that might help too.  Not that I'm averse to an intense game, but...well, whatever.  She'll be whoever she is and Toad, Schachter and I will just roll with it.  Not sure how, say, Jess and Sasha will respond if she's on the intense side, but that's for later.  Ian'll help, probably.

Our men's numbers look okay for PT.  I'll be able to sub when I want to and won't have to feel obliged to be on the field more than is good for me.  I'm going to try going no-brace again and see how it works out.  I'll definitely bring it though, just in case.  It'll also be the first on-field try at my leggings.  Let's see how they handle.  They're much thinner than my old ones so this could go either way- thinner and less obstructive or thinner and colder (leading to slower legs).  Likely the air will be the limiting factor, in which case my legs will just have to keep up with my lungs and all will be down to cardio.  The college kids will have a big leg up on me there, since they'll have been practicing in this weather while I've been gymtiming it hardcore.

Well, I'm just going in circles as a function of my anticipation.  I'll stop and try to focus.  Gotta hydrate before gym time.

Let's do some Work.

ETA: Ugh.  Annoying ass meeting makes me glad for the gym.
