This is the first time in almost two decades that I have set a conditioning goal, had something like an actual plan (sort of) and stuck with it for five months. Honestly, except for my on-again, off-again attempt at a program last off-season, I haven't made a concentrated effort to get in the gym for two decades. The last time I worked out hard, seriously hard for an extended period was wrestling season my senior year in High School. That would be 1975. Yeah, I ran a lot during the 80's and did several 10 K runs. I Busted hump for seven-eight weeks in 2003 and did the Truckee-Tahoe 25 km Cross Country ski race. But I've never set goals like this and worked this hard for this long, like I have these past five months. In five months, I think I've missed three days, total due to work or other smack that kept me out of the gym. My only regret is that I didn't hit on a real program that would work for me until only about a month ago. Between some ideas I got on this forum, Amazon Goddess Wendy's wisdom and guidance, and some coaching from Demigoddess Cori, I've found something that works for me.
Even if I see minimal improvement in my throwing, the fact that I did this, that I worked this hard, this consistently for the past five months is a serious "victory" for me. It may be no big shakes for you guys who get in the gym all the time, but I'm just a little bit proud of myself for doing this.
