Weekend

My weekend was fairly uneventful. Friday and Saturday were nice and calm at work, everyone was probably freezing from the low temperatures. On Friday night, I honestly felt as though I was walking on my knees. I could not feel anything below my knees. So, Saturday I went out and got a pair of Canadian combat boots that actually look really nice when my dress pants cover them up. They kept me warm until about 12:30, then I got pretty cold again. It was still better than the night before.

My throwing has been improving. Technically I feel pretty solid and my body is gradually adjusting to the higher volume training. My throws with the 9k have improved a decent chunk, I am still struggling to feel the 14 but have put out a few decent results. It is pretty sweet to throw in the snow at night, I feel like a bad ass Russian training for something serious...I feel like Alexander Karelin, haha.

Tonight is a huge banquet for the track club. Gary Reed (silver medalist in the 800 in 2007 Worlds) is in town and is giving a big presentation on his life and training and he and Dylan are then going over what they did at the World Champs. Apparently, Gary's story is unbelievable and it should make for a fun filled evening...at the very least it is a dinner buffet. I will inform you on how sweet the evening is.
