Things have been pretty hectic lately! My younger daughter is in town. She is en route from the west coast to the east coast, driving. Her car was giving her some issues, so I've been working on it for her (I'm a former service tech) and things keep popping up. She planned to stop here for a couple of days and she's now been here a little over a week. I'm delighted to have her around, but it's disrupted my training. Likewise, I'm into some heavy work on the house project.
Hockey started back up tonight. This is the "winter session," even though it started in August. New teams, some new faces, and the skill level and speed of the game has gone up a couple of notches. My private coaching sessions and wind sprints are both paying off. I played very well tonight and had much more wind than even just a couple of weeks ago. The running and biking seems to have made me a little faster, too. That's a big plus. I was always the fastest guy on the ice even into my 40's. Now at 56 that's not the case anymore, so any increase in speed is very welcome. I'll I'll keep up with both and continue to improve! The pro free agent camp is in five weeks. I'm excited: I did pretty well last year and I'm in better shape; I'm more skilled and I weigh the same as I did last year. I found out tonight that my goalie training buddy also signed up for the camp, so that will be cool to have a buddy there. I scored on him tonight, BTW...
