Mary’s Weekend Workouts. 10/23 and 10/24
Last weekend my soccer team played in our league semifinal match.
We only had 11 players show up to the game, so every player remained on the field for all 90 minutes….a definite workout!
We ended up winning the game 1-0, knocking the number 1 team out of playoff contention. It was a pretty amazing win, as the team we beat only has two losses on the season, and both losses were to my team.
Now, we’re going to the finals!!!
It’s an amazing comeback, since we almost didn’t make it to playoffs to begin with.
In fact, we had to win our last game of the season (and another team had to lose) in order for us to make the playoffs….and we were playing the number one team in the league. So now we’ve beat the same team two weekends in a row. I’ve been calling our team the Mighty Ducks as a result. Because our comeback has been THAT awesome.
I also was the one to make the game-winning goal, so that was cool.
After that, I rested all Saturday, but then got back to work on Sunday (sort of).
By back to work I mean that I drank one of these:
….while doing this:
miniworkout:
Wall Squats: 3 x 90 seconds
Single Leg Calf Raise: 3 x 20 (per leg)
Forward Lunges 2 x 15 (per leg)
Pushups 3 x 15
Side Planks 3 x 45 seconds (each side)
It wasn’t much, but it was better than doing nothing.
And also something to keep me occupied while watching Real Housewives of Atlanta and drinking a pumpkin spiced ale.
Yes, that REALLY is what I did with my autumn Sunday evening. Even when I had two perfectly good pumpkins waiting to be carved.
I mean, hey, that pumpkin ale doesn’t drink itself, right?
Besides, it’s totally not safe to carve pumpkins while doing wall squats.
I stand by my actions.
