I decided to do a track workout to wake up my legs after taking 2 full days off from training. I was very busy doing some recording sessions. I also had the privilege of recording some piano tracks for the great pianist, George Colligan who performs with some of the greatest jazz musicians in the world. I also have been busy learning how to program Arduino micro processors, xbee radios, and using a variety of sensors for various projects that I been hired to work on. This morning, I had a very fun time playing piano at two church services with a great drummer. Its always a bit more challenging without the bass player. After sitting around for two days, I felt that I needed to get out to hammer a workout. I wanted to take advantage of the hot weather that is missing about 10 months out of the year in Oregon. I was very surprised to be able to do this workout after doing mostly base training for the last month. I started with 1 mile @ 5:10, 1x800m @ 2:20. 1x400m @ 61. Then 5x200m @ 30,30,29,28,27. I finished the workout with a 400m @ 60 seconds. On my cool down, I saw a soccer ball laying on the side of track. I picked it up and juggled the ball for about 200m while I was jogging. I was surprised that I can still do this after not touching a soccer ball in years. I might start bringing a soccer ball to my workouts and doing some juggling on my cool downs. Soccer is definitely a great sport that will test your endurance. I definitely miss playing soccer. At my age, I am happy to stay fit and be healthy enough to exercise. I thank God everyday for this gift.
