I’ll be out of pocket for a few days, so today was my one and only PLS workout this week. Whether it is for business (most of the time) or play (this time), I hate missing workouts. In fact, I altered my schedule today just so I could make this morning’s PLS Training. I was rewarded with a good, solid workout that focused on shoulders and core. And we really stretched at the end, which felt good. I needed it. The only place I could run Saturday was on a treadmill at the Beau Rivage. Six and a quarter miles on a treadmill in an hour makes me feel like a rat on a wheel. It also made my hamstrings tight. Today’s stretch felt great.
Eating clean while traveling is a challenge. Airports and exits on interstates are fast food havens. And when you spend hours per week playing athlete, the last thing you want to stick in your mouth is something greasy. Healthy eating on the road can be done. But it is a challenge — one that I’d up for. I hope I can just find a good salad today.
I’ll also find time to run and do pushups, sit-ups and other core work. Next Monday is waiting for me. I want to be ready.
But more than anything, I’m looking forward to some rest and spending time with my wife. We’ve been married for 20 years. So it will be nice to slow down, look back and then look forward to what’s coming up next.
I’ll miss my line mates, though. I hope they have a great week.
