My roommate and I have really been hitting it hard the past few days in the gym and on the ice. We've gone to the gym every day this week and skated whenever we can with a few other guys on the team who are in town. It's been really awesome to get settled in, start working, and start getting focused on the upcoming season. We've gone to the gym really focused and ready to work lately. It's not like we go to the gym to talk or babewatch--although there is a little of that, not going to lie--but we go in and tire ourselves out and do meaningful exercises. Two days ago, we did an arm workout, and I told Justin during the workout that my arms didn't feel like they were a part of my body anymore. They felt like they were just floating away from my body because we had worked them so hard. Yesterday, we went to the gym and told ourselves that we were just going to go in and do a short workout, but once we got to the gym, our short workout quickly turned into a 2 hour and 15 minute workout. I can tell already that it's going to be a great year. It's going to be great to have a workout partner who will push me to do better and to work harder, and it will be really fun to live with someone who I like to hang out with and who I have fun with.
Another one of our workout partners who is actually leaving to play for the Corpus Christi Ice Rays in the NAHL in a few days, but who was my D partner here last year, said the other day during a workout, "Tomorrow, if you're not sore, you're a whore." (Sorry for the offensive word--I know there are families reading this--but if you keep reading, you will see the connection to what I'm about to say.) And I've been really sore all week, so I guess I'm doing something right. But I have a feeling that all this hard work we are doing now will have tremendous payout in a few months when we are tearing through this league, on our way to a national championship.
