This week didn't start off well. The time for my Monday rec league basketball game was changed and I didn't know about it. The game was moved up and hour and I ended up showing up with a few minutes left to play. One of our other players also didn't know about the change and showed up at halftime. We ended up having only 4 players in the first half, one of whom was one of our teenage sons, and lost the game by 15 points. It was so frustrating because I really look forward to these games and both of my sons came with me to watch me play. We could've beaten this team with a full roster. Hopefully, we'll meet them in the tournament so that we have another chance at them.
Also, the team we ended up playing against beat us last year. They have one player in particular who pushed us around. He's a nice guy, but he is a physical player on the court. This may sound psychotic, but on those days when I faced more weight than I thought I could handle on the bench press or squat, I thought of that guy and how I didn't want to get pushed around again. This thought helped motivate me push through some of my strength plateaus. After all of that work and progress in the weight room, I didn't even get to play against the guy.
Well, this week was busy with work and other activities, so I wasn't able to get in all of my workouts. I'll let you know how next week goes.
Happy Holidays!!!!
