Here you will find the the ramblings and incantations of shallow and materialistic brain. HAHA just kidding, but seriously, do not expect to be wowed or impressed with my writing. I am a college dropout with the attention span of .... wait what is that over there....

Went and worked bags with Benny and Curtis. Did 15 minutes of jump rope and then we went to the heavy bags and did one hundred 1,2’s one hundred 5,6’s one hundred left leg kicks and one hundred right leg kicks. From the bags I was put through this “bob and weave” drill. Needless to say my legs are incredibly sore from that already. Next was the timing bag, followed by Abs. Right after boxing we went to rolling ju jitsu for another hour. All in all it was a pretty hard day. We will see what tomorrow brings…
So that seems like quite a journey. Another 25 pounds to go to make it there. Right now I am weighing 210 as of last night. I actually started Monday but was too lazy to even open this application and write haha. Ok so Monday I ran 2 miles blah it was horrible. Not a big fan of running. Yesterday I did a killer work out with Benny ( my roommate) which involved a lot of boxing and bags and such. But not before we jumped rope for 20 minutes straight. My calves felt like they were about to bust open. So starting today I will go more in depth in my work outs an my diet. Today I woke up at 10 and cooked 4 eggs and some plain oatmeal. Not exactly my favorite meal but it is something that I will have to grow accustomed too. I will write some more later after the work out.
Well it was more of a practice I guess. We have a set 45 man roster and the coaches will be making cuts over the next few weeks. But as of right now I feel pretty confident that I will be able to make the team. Today we just went over our base defense, 4-3, pretty traditional and easy, but I am glad that we run that. It is a bread and butter defense, but our defensive coordinator loves to blitz and run crazy schemes, and I am all about that. After we covered that, we went into a little 7 on 7 and I felt like I did pretty well for not playing in 3 years. I got all my drops and coverages down. I had a couple pass breakups, so overall it was a pretty decent practice. Conditioning was easy as well, only did like ten 50 yards sprints and then we ran “the hill”. Now if you went to Liberty and you did athletics then you know what I am talking about. But this hill is like baby hill jr with a touch of downs. It isn’t nearly as long or horribly landscaped. This one actually had green grass, and if you were to fall down it, you wouldn’t die or end up in Poop Creek. Anyways, like I said, I was overall pleased with my performance today. Next practice is Wednesday but I wish it was tomorrow, it felt awesome being out there again. Looking forward to playing! Yall take care and have a great day.
