An hour of mini. We had one sub, so we took short breaks between games but played a lot. Diana’s first ultimate after pregnancy!

I bought a 1" bar and about 200lb worth of plates a week ago. Today was my first lifting session. The bar is clearly worse than normal Olympic bars, but it was cheap and works well in a smaller space (my living room), so I’m not complaining too much.

Finished with the usual hip/quad/ham/etc stretching.
A hot windy day with not many subs. We did the usual drills, scenarios, and scrimmages. I played more than I wanted to, but my knee still feels pretty good. It’s in the maybe-sore-maybe-ok phase where I’m not sure if it’s gonna hurt later, or if it’s fine. One thing I did notice is that stretching makes a big difference. I didn’t stretch the last two days, and I felt tight getting out of bed. I’m gonna redouble my efforts to stretch every day.
Second weekend of Metro tryouts. I participated in the whole thing this time. My knee felt surprisingly good - those stretches must be doing something. On the other hand, I’m in the worst shape I’ve ever been going into tryouts. Possibly the worst shape at all since college. I’m gonna have to work extra hard to get back in the groove.

Went to the first weekend of Metro tryouts. I didn’t play much, because I’m still rehabbing my knee. But I did warmups, participated in a few drills, and spent a lot of time stretching and slow-squatting. I also helped out where I could, collecting discs and dispensing advice. Tryouts went well - there are some promising new players, old vets, and friends who I haven’t played with in a while. Best of all, my knee feels pretty good. I didn’t do much, but its the first workout I’ve done in a while that didn’t leave my tendon sore.
On the downside, I’m months behind in fitness. I’ll have to work hard over the next few months to catch up, but be careful not to overdo it. I’m really looking forward to having a squat rack in my basement.
Did each pair of exercises as a superset. #efficiency
I joined the Elm City YMCA so I can work out at a standard gym close to home. They only have one squat rack, but it looks like its not used much, esp if I go during odd hours.
8 Zoya pullups @ ~8lb

Ran around a little at woodbridge. I mostly wanted to see how my knee felt after taking several months off. The good news is that it doesn’t hurt, but the bad news is that its pretty sore and does not feel ready yet. Gonna up my PT and workouts at home.
Got through 8 minutes (36 pullups). Then in the 9th minute, did two super-slow negative pullups.
