Mark's Training Log: I may be weak, but at least I'm slow.

[TeleMark]

Just raising up my head to confirm that I still draw breath... Not a lot of throwing in the past couple of weeks. The Phoenix games are this weekend. A few of us did a handful of throws Saturday. I've been trying to incorporate more "hip" into my hammer, and to throw up rather than out. So far this resulted in me falling 3 times out of 5 throws. I think I was getting more distance, but obviously heading over the trig is a no-no. I'll get a conservative throw in the books and then see what I can do.

Also during some practice the previous week I strained an extensor in my right arm throwing hammer. It's much better now, but I really did not want to push my luck. If I keep it up, I can probably add some additional excuses before I leave for Phoenix.
