Today was.. an experience. First workout since senior year. I was sorta sore from yesterday.. I don't think it was the floats, even though Coach said they might make us sore. I think it was from my futsal game last night. Don't tell my coach though. I don't know how happy it would make him to know I'm playing in soccer games every week.
Anyway, today Sydney, Megan, and I had 4xgradual hills and 6xsteep hills up Old Main in our spikes. I liked wearing my spikes.. I've never had any like these before. They're super light and thin.
We had 20 min warm up on this neato trail that I never knew about before and that felt fantastic. Had some good get-to-know-you conversation with Sydney. Then the gradual hills were fine.. they're mostly a form drill. The steep hills were.. something. I only did four- not necessarily because I was tired (my breathing was fine) but because my muscles tightened up so badly on the fourth that I was barely moving by the end. I'm sure it looked pretty pathetic to anyone walking by. I'm not super bummed out about it though.. I'm very aware that I'm out of shape and it's gonna take a while to get back to where I was. But man, it's crazy to think that there was a time when six of those hills would have barely fazed me (they're honestly not that fast or long, just super super steep. Overall, easier than Sunrise). After I finished my legs were shaking like none other. I physically couldn't stand still- I looked like I was having some kind of seizure, I'm sure. So that was embarrassing.10 minute cool down after and then a chocolate milk.
