Training on Tuesday night was awesome. I couldn't wait to get there and went early. Got to meet the blokes and have a great warm up - jogging some laps and kicking some balls to loosen up. From here we went into drills and I was pleased to be one of the youngest blokes! I was not the fittest but well up there and my ball handling and kicking skills were good compared with some blokes. I am playing on Saturday night - can't wait! However the training was much lighter than I am used to, and so after I went home and iced my legs I had no discomfort. Wednesday morning I went for my run with Judith and did plenty of sit ups, step ups and stomach crunches. After we got home I had the usual massage from Helen our masseuse who worked out all the knots in my legs. I feel great.

By the way the pic is of me showing up the young fellas in a soccer match 2 years ago.

My weekly routine is now starting to look like this. (Starting from Tuesday)

• Tuesday night - AFL training - 1.5 hours, running, kicking, sprinting, etc
• Wednesday morning - running, strength and stretching exercises, squats, lunges, sit ups etc for 1 hour followed by massage
• Thursday afternoon - park time with the family and friends for 1.5 hours - frisbee and gentle exercise - maybe a bit of footy kicking
• Thursday night - basket ball, coaching and playing for 1.5 hours
• Friday - nothing at moment
• Saturday (every second week) AFL game - 2 hours of intense work, running tackling, jumping etc
• Sunday and Monday - recovery - maybe run or cycle or park with the kids

As a result I have already noticed a weight loss which is good. I have been sitting just over 115kg (253lbs). I am currently around 113-114 consistently. I want to get back to 110, and if possible even drop down to 100kg (220lbs) which would be my ideal weight.
