I guess if anyone was watching, we must have looked like brain-damaged lemmings.
The lot of us, about 70 folks, were walking backwards down the football field. Coach Chaz Ramsey, my non-related cousin, was telling us that it was a good way to loosen up out back and legs from all running we have been doing.
He could have just been making us look stupid, though. You always wonder.
Speaking of looking stupid, we did Chips ‘n’ Salsa today. No, we didn’t eat lard-fried chips with a taste picante sauce. We put our feet on a chips ‘n’ salsa tray and pulled ourselves with our hands 20 yards at a pop. I think I did it four times.
My shoulders hate my freaking guts.
Coach Clark had us run up and down the football stadium. And then do knee bends while standing on a rail. I knew I’d bust my sizable butt on that one. But I didn’t. I kicked the stadium’s tall butt. Mine remained intact.
We also did the nipple drill and heave and retrieve. Sometimes the saying the exercise’s name is more fun than the exercise itself.
Conner was my weight room partner. My screwy shoulder held up, although it is sore now.
And of course, I’m about to drive to the Coast to speak. And then sign at Mistletoe Marketplace tonight. I’m running a career marathon today. Three hours in the car, one hour on stage and signing lots of books.
The one hour of the day I spend pushing it at PLS makes all the difference. I couldn’t do the other 23 hours without it.
I don’t know what a nipple drill is, but wondered if it had to do with the cold temps.
At any rate, you made me look! LOL
