training

just back from volleyball training which ended at the gloriously late time of 745, causing my dad to wait 45 mins just to pick me up. we didnt do weights on tues nor today, that's reserved for the j2s. but we still did physical conditioning today.

everything seemed well and nice when we started playing monkey by kicking a volleyball around, then playing another game for our warmup. but then we were told to run 8 rounds on the track as a team, and after 2 rounds they wanted us to complete the remaining 6 in 13 mins. we didnt make the time but on the bright side everyone managed to stick together throughout. then after that we did 100m sprints 5 times, followed by lots and lots and lots of jumping. basically, everything we did was killing our thighs, of which mine was already aching before training started. then we stayed in finger pushup position which i need much practice on cos my fingers are really weak. then also did leg raises which was painful for me cos my abs hurt even more than my thighs before training. amazingly though right now i don't feel extremely sore -- in fact i feel much better than before training or during training today. then again its probably just the calm before the storm -- i think i'll wake up to a terribly painful body tmr.

man u whooped arsenal 4-2! :) harkens back to the good old times when man u went around beating all opponents whether at home or away. but i don't think this man utd team will ever achieve what the 98-99 team did -- and the major reason was peter schmeichel. the guy's contribution to the team is simply massive. man u's current team is good, but we still need a keeper in the mould of schmikes, and players to replace the ageing keane, scholes and giggs.

so is saturday's soccer confirmed? can play 2 hrs or sth. then again if my body is killing me tmr maybe i cant even make it =(
