Well, it's Tuesday, and that means that we have Acceleration training . It'll be my third session tonight, and I still get a little nervous about how I'll manage on the treadmill and doing all of those plyos. Really, I don't have any reason to be nervous. From what I've experienced so far, the training is much like a good high school XC workout, and I enjoy myself for most of the hour or two that we're there. Maybe I'm just going to be a bit apprehensive until I join the slew of people who have gotten sick so far this year... maybe puking at Acceleration is just a big milestone looming in front of me.
The Sick List '07:
Jeff - Well, duh. (He pukes all the time working out.)
Shwa - Seemed ashamed to admit it, but I might envy him.
Moss - Got the most out of that first workout.
Pat - Didn't fully 'lose it', but probably would have if he tried to get up from that chair after the tread mill.
Jeanine - Couldn't throw up, but wanted to at last Friday's workout.
Even in writing this list, I get the feeling that these people have been inducted to some hall.... But I haven't decided what adding my name to that list would feel like. (Fame or shame?) I guess there's always the chance that I'll find out tonight.

2007 Boston Invitational
This kind of says it all:
http://upa.org/scores/tourn.cgi?div=68&id=3537
Or maybe it doesn't if you're unfamiliar with the UPA Score Reporter, or the Club Mixed landscape... (Hint: Those are considered 8 of the very top mixed teams in the nation. Look at our seed going into the tournament, and look at the final standings.)
Yeah, we did very well.
Exactly HOW well we did is just sinking in too. Especially considering how much room for improvement there is on our team (just having a full roster would improve us for our next big tourney). Certainly it's possible (maybe even likely) that the other teams we played in Boston will improve as much as I see Moe improving by the time the series rolls around. But even if that's the case, it feels like Moe is going to have a much more competitive, productive and meaningful season than ever before.
Speaking of productivity - I'm starting Acceleration training tomorrow. Yikes.
I'm still a little worried about burning out physically, but I should hit my peak just around the Spawnfest tournament (Burlington, WA) in August, which is pretty much ideal. Between then and now... I just hope I have all the energy that I want for practice, etc... not to mention life in general. (I think Jeff has me a little over-anxious about his sprint-and-jump-'til-you-puke training stories from Acceleration.)
I am really looking forward to having a more structured workout program though. The idea of having an authoritative training figure (like it was to have a coach) back in my athletic life sounds good. We'll see how it goes.
