I like long walks on the beach, but only three step approaches on the runway with a diving finish... don't like romance novels so much, but i will sit down and read a cosmo every now and again. I was recruited to be a decathlete, but i'm not really too fond of running more than a lap or so at a time, so i really just throw.

Obviously the Naval Academy is a real party school, and i soak up as much of the party as i can.

Hopefully one day i will be as good a thrower as my idol Micheal Wright and Carl Schiemreif, they are truly gods among us mere mortals.

beginning of the season

hey all, so i'm getting this started again, and hopefully it'll be more than one installment a month :) but we'll see...

School just started up, systems engineering is a mother fucker, but i've only got 16 credits so we'll see how that goes...

Track practice (well captain's practices) just began this past week, lots of conditioning and "lifting", i put it in quotes because this is God given :) i actually hate the weight room, but this is the first year that i will be doing off season training as opposed to another varsity sport, so i figured i'd try to make the training count. Early in the week we did some stations, i feel like we're training to run the mile with the running/endurance load we have, but i guess that's what happens in the off season, seeing as how during the season (well competition at least, i don't have to run more than 150' at any time (and that's on a rare long approach, since even after 5 years of throwing the jav i can still throw just as far from a 3 step)... anyway, yesterday we did a 7mi indian run w/ the 20 throwers (that number should go down as the season approaches and cuts are made... hopefully!), so in my response i skipped practice today, since it was inevitably going to be more fucking running (you can see how much i LOVE running), i went out w/ my company here and played some good ol fashioned tackle football :) which will always be my first love, and not playing this year is really really difficult for me.

So in conclusion, pre-season workouts suck ass, i think the coach/captain think that pre-season means we're training to run against The PRE... i'll do my best to let them know that is not the case, but i will most likely be protesting in vain... :(

stop pre.
