Hey Everyone

I am so happy I was able to get through the 1st week of training!!! Now it wasn’t easy, and I can tell this year in a whole is not going to be “easy”.  But I think I will improve a great deal and have a great time in my new group!!

Today’s practice was the icing on the cake, I mean we had a beach work out and it was a MONSTER!!! 1st the long run was the longest run I’ve ever done; then since we had to do 1/2 of it in the soft sand I was just too thru…  I am going out there with a positive mind and trying to take a positive take on everything, so when we heard our workout, and how far we had to run I didn’t allow a negative thought to seep into my mind but my body wasn’t fooled.  A little over half way through the run, my body knew I had never done that before and was like Ummmm what are we doing? What is this? lol… But all I could do was keep going, keep pushing through.  My knees where a little sore and legs were heavy but I just thought this is what it takes, come on I have to get it done, and kept pushing down the beach.  BUT just know when time was up I was GEEKED.  However, lol, the workout did not stop there!!! We had some drills and other things in the sand before we called it a day, and let me tell you my body was dragging and starting to feel sore before I was done…

NOW it’s about 6 O’clock I’m still tired AND I’m EXTREMELY SORE!!! My hip-flexors are so sore I don’t even know what to do!! Probably ice right!!! Well I guess I can go do that and rest up because things are just getting started and from what I hear I haven’t seen anything yet…

xoxo MacKenzie
