Done & Dusted.

Done & Dusted..

After 10 weeks of training I am all done and the results aren't the ones that I was 
aiming for, but they are pretty dam close and I am pretty stoked.


Thanks to everyone who helped and thanks to Brendon for helping me set goals!

Cricket

If Only..

Everything looks better in hindsight. If I knew I was going to cruise on my first cricket outing
of the season like I did today then I would've started training last year! For the first time in
a good five years I felt under control of everything at the crease and played with no limits.
Although I only scored 37, it was a fluent and classy innings (if I may say so myself). I felt
fast and fit between the stumps.

Hindsight, eh! 

D-Day

D-Day Approaches..

Man the battle stations, D-Day approaches. In three days I will re-test myself after
10 weeks of training and I have somewhat mixed feelings about my results.

What if I am worse?
What if I am heavier?

What if I am slower?

I think the results should prove me wrong. I have done the work and now it's time to 
see what the tests have to say.

At least I am not having to storm the beaches at Normandy..



Refereeing

Refereeing

I have spent the last few weekends refereeing various football tournaments in Timaru and I now
feel for all the referees that I have ever abused over my time as a player. God, they cop a lot of stick!

I can only imagine how much it must piss some referees off when there is a player consistently in their ear about the most petty of this and usually the player is wrong! That's not the only issue. I spent have spent 9 hours fielding on a cricket pitch standing up and still I have never been as sore as I was when I finished refereeing for the weekend.

To top it all off I have nasty blisters. Both my toes look like this.

Filthy 50 Circuit. Yuk!

The Filthy Fifty

Did my first of the 'Filthy 50' yesterday. It is death.

I didn't even do a full set of 50 on every exercise. I technically did a 'Filthy 40' and as good
as I felt after exercising I felt like death this morning. I can only imagine what I will be like
tomorrow morning.

However, no pain, no gain.

Music Choices

Music Choices for Exercising

Thought I'd do a wee post with a couple of my favourite songs to exercise too and a couple of albums.


This, is a one way ticket to getting pumped up. Lets be honest the whole Project X Soundtrack is a go'er. If you can get your hands on it I recommend giving it a go, even if its before town on a Saturday!

Prior to Cricket the mood mellows out a little and I prefer something along the lines of Fat Freddy's, Six60 or The Beautiful Girls (TBG).


I'd be keen to hear what others listen to. Drop a comment.
