This weeks workout was playing with the soccer team I help coach. We scrimmaged full field and it was wonderful to play with the team. Our team is very good and plays at a high level. After playing for a half, I was spent, but loved every second.

Today, I did the running loop that I have done before. It was great day in Hudson– 70’s and sunny. I am trying to savor the last few weeks/days of Fall. I know that winter will be here before I know it and it was nice to be out for a run on a prefect Fall day.
This morning I decided to revisit the Yoga Lounge. I wore the 365 shirt proudly for the 6am session of Vinyasa Yoga. It has been a while since I have done yoga and the stiffness in my back has been reminding me all day. Nonetheless, the session this morning was a great way to start the day.

Circuit workout with the Soccer team:
We did the circuit again as a group, but this time we included the leg exercises. The legs portion of the circuit included squats, weight pushes (pushing a 45 lb plate wrapped in a towel on the gym floor), wall sit with medicine ball, lunges, slides with resistance bands, and a few others.

Circuit workout with the Soccer team:
It was a 30 station circuit with each station lasting for 30 seconds. Stations varied from jumping rope to tractor tire dead lifts. None of the stations are repeated and we went through every station once. The workout is organized and monitored by the Western Reserve Academy trainer, who does a great job. It is not a long work out, but it is definitely one that we get a lot out of.

workout: 3 mile run, 100 push ups and sits ups
Today I went out for a three mile run. I have found a new route that I enjoy that turns out to be exactly 3 miles. I am currently in the middle of preseason for the fall soccer season. The team has been working hard during the days and I am finding time in between sessions to continue my training.

I cannot beat a bike tour/workout in Amsterdam– Sounds fantastic! Hope you both are enjoying your time abroad and glad to see the workouts are continuing outside the United States.
Today I did 2.5 miles of interval training. It was a great workout and managed to finish right before a rain storm came through.
In other news, it was just brought to my attention that an Alumni of the high school where I work was a contributing editor for the book In the Shadow of Greatness. The book has just been published and I think it is worth passing along. I have posted the link below for everyone to check out.
Soccer Today. I was able to join a group of the kids that play soccer for the soccer team I help coach during the fall season. As they prepare for the season, a group of local kids play soccer in the evenings. I wore the 365 t-shirt for the pick-up game and answered a few questions that were asked about the shirt. It was a good workout and a lot of fun to compete with them.
I decided to do an early run today instead of going after work. It was a nice change as it was much cooler outside. I ended up running for about 2 and a half miles. Good Thursday workout which lead to a great day.
