Well, this was a stressful week. Summer school is always stressful at the end. I took Wednesday off, as Tuesday was a rough training session at rugby.
Thursday was a night I had to take off from rugby to mark - marked for six hours straight ... which I should not have done, but I did it anyway.
Got on the pitch on Saturday for about a half hour, but lost anyway. I did get a sweet run in, about 10 meters with the ball. I'm still intending to make it to training as there is a lot of rugby left to be played.
Lots of morning, afternoon and some evening training sessions happening. My hips and knees are happy and my shoulders are making a come back.

July 16 to July 20
The early cardio sessions continue.
Monday did a second session in the evening. At least my legs are holding out.
Lots of technical work on scrums at rugby training of late. It's needed.
Other than that, just trying to keep my nutrition up and my family relations together.

July 5 to July 15
Yeah, this isn't getting easier, so I have to change.
I've changed habits for the better. At least I think so. Smoothies and coffee for breakfast instead of carby stuff. Vegetables for lunch with some cheese and fruit. Regular dinner, nothing stupid. and then calming down and walking either in the morning or in the evening, depending on the day.
The walking and working with medical professionals is helping a lot - I can sleep through the night these days.
I'm still not making the seconds games at home. Shame, really.
But I'll keep plugging away at it. I'm making plans for the offseason which is coming up rather quickly, I'm sorry to say.
Off for a walk.

June 5 to July 4
This month is always a tough one.
I did score another try in June - in Oshawa. I'm still not back to the fitness level I feel the need to achieve. I've started on that path again.
Training on nights without rugby - Sundays, too as recovery from twenty minutes of game time is pretty easy. Solid sessions, just not long enough yet. Lots of kettlebells and bodyweight sessions ... and walking. lots of walking.
Training last night - Tuesday, July 3rd - was a real let down for me. Knee hurting during one of the drills and staying out of a contact drill for fear of injury were things that normally would not have stuck in my mind as hurtful or stupid. Today and last night they pricked my conscience.
I chatted about summer plans with a few of the guys and they laughed about what it is that I am doing - I'm working in Brampton this summer. Paying bills this way is pretty easy for me - I've got everything planned and photocopied and posted. It's all good.
I'm hoping that I can work on my own fitness these days - I did do a short walk before leaving this morning ... and plan on doing something tonight. Just not sure what and where. I will get something done, though.
At least my hip has stopped fighting me - now I'm back to fighting my belly and inflexible thingys.
I just want to be happy and I'm not at the moment ... and it's all within my power to solve these things that are bugging me. I need to summon up my own discipline and need time for that.
