Long Week
Nobody cares, but I feel like writing. Played 6 league games last week then went to Greenville for a tournament. We finished fourth the first time at Greenville with this team which is a pretty big deal around here. Luckily league play is winding down and it looks like I only have 4 games this week before heading to Yuba City this coming weekend and back to Greenville for co-ed the following weekend.
Last weekend I got on base 14 times and probably ran 35 times as I was one of the three fastest players and we had three people that needed CR at any given moment in a game. Couple this with playing outfield all 6 games and that's a ton of running. But I felt on fire. I was definitely the fastest I had been on the bases all year, even by game 6. Several shortstops and third basemen didn't even bother to throw the ball when I hit there way. It felt great. Of course, starting Monday, I was back to normal and not feeling so hot. I really need to get some rest and recovery in so I can rebuild these damn legs and then be ready for YC.
After the co-ed tourney in Greenville, I'm off to Tahoe for vacation. that's what I'm really looking forward to. I love running and I love ball, but my body is screaming for a break and it really won't get a good one until then. I'm also trying to figure out when I can squeeze in a lifting session or more over the next two weeks. And did I mention that my swing needs a major overhaul still? Summers are crazy and I get too complacent during the winter. I may just have my fall managers take me out of the lead off position and resign myself to a lower batting avg. for a couple of months while I work out the new swing... all during fall hockey.
I need more time in my day.
