Today’s workout had me sweatin hard. Not too bad of a workout.

I am definitely tired when I finish training the football team groups so I am suprised to get as much as I do out of my workouts. I am coaching Monday-Friday from 5:30am until 12:00. Second summer session we will be adding an afternoon group too!

I like the program, and, as usual, you’re doing the crazy work capacity stuff.

You need to get in touch with me soon- I know you’re busy, so at your convenience.

Looking forward to hearing an update, and I hope the football stuff is rockin’.
