1 Week down a lot more to go...

The first week of football practice is done. Thursday and Friday we had pads on and got to hit people. That's so much fun. I have bruises all over my arms, but they don't hurt. We have shorter practices from now on. Instead of 4 1/2 hours, we have 2 hours. It will be nice to have them later in the day. Instead of 7:30 AM it's 3 PM. Getting more rest will be great.
Today was picture and dinner night. The picture taking process was very slow. I had to wait through JV and Varsity before I got my picture taken. It took over an hour and a half before I got my picture taken. The dinner was ok. Everyone brought a salad or hotdish. I ate too much, though.

But football is only one part of my week. On thursday I went to a chicken feed at our local Rod & Gun. That wasn't quite worth the time. It started at 5:30 PM and we got there at 6 PM. We ended up getting # 340. When we arrived they were calling #'s 125 and below. They went by increments of 30. We didn't eat until after 8. The food was good but I wouldn't do it again.

Here are some other random things I did this week. I mowed my lawn, ate a couple sandwiches, looked into the mirror and flexed- At the end of each practice we lift weights. A different routine everyday. They include bench press, squat, clean, arm curls, leg curls, leg extensions, inclined press, dead-lift, and leg press. If anyone is interested I could tell them the weight, rep, and set counts I do for all these lifts. Anyways while I was flexing in the mirror I noticed that my biceps had increased in size quite a bit. I was so excited that I ran downstairs and showed Josh. He didn't share in my excitment. But it was pretty cool, and that's only after one week of practice. Now continuing with random stuff- I ate apples out of our apple tree, ate waaay too much candy, and got really cold watching hockey.

I'm sore.

Football practice started on Monday. Practices go from 7:30 AM to 12 PM. On Thursday we finally get to put pads on and hit people. Now we're just running a lot and lifting weights. It's pretty tough, there were a few times when I thought I was going to throw up. We do a conditioner drill where we sprint around the entire football field. It's 53 1/3 yards (160 feet) across the field and 100 yards (300 ft) down the field. We get 30 second breaks after each time around the field. After doing that 3 times you're pretty winded. We do another drill where the Offensive linemen and the Defensive lineman line up on one sideline and the running backs, receivers, and D-Ends line up on the other. I'm a receiver. The concept is to sprint to the other side and back as fast as you can. The Linemen go first and whatever time they get we have to beat by 6 seconds. They usually get around 22-23 seconds. If we don't get below the 16-17 seconds we have to do an extra one. We do it at least 3 times but we had to do an extra one so we had 4. When we're done with those we get a 10 minute break, afterwhich we do some minor conditioning drills and then go lift weights for 45 minutes. It's a tough regimen.
After football the day goes by pretty quickly. I get home and eat lunch, I might take a short nap, wake up, clean for a little bit, read the bible, and then it's time for supper. I've been getting to bed later then I should be. Usually around 10:30. I should be in bed by 9 so I'll be more rested.
