Back to it

Weekend is over -- thank god! I didn't get my bike ride in but i got everything else down from Cleaning the house to coaching and my Fun Run!

Saturday was  Up at 6am with Little Miss, we went for a walk and got some milk from the shop and OH went for a surf. Then we had to go shopping for shoes for LM and a raincoat. plus dog food and I had to go into work to change some stuff and run some tests. then we where off to hockey by 11am. I had to plan for two games with different players showing up at different times.
I am just going to stop for a minute and say that if you have a coach or some one that helps you out please understand that there is so much work that goes on behind what you see. and to be patient with them when you drop a bomb shell! Like sorry I cant play I told "fred" to tell you. grrr

The games where at 1pm and 6pm so i sent OH and little Miss home and i stayed at the fields. In between the two games i walked to the local pool and did a 2km swim then headed back for the late game. Now somewhere between leaving for the pool, the pool and getting back I lost my manager!.
The girls gave alot in the first game (playing a very strong team which is coming 3rd in the comp) the end result for that game was 2 all. second game the girls played a team that should have been a great game as they are very well matched but it was a crap first half but great finish by my girls. The half time score was 4-0 to the opposition but the girls got it together but just couldnot score (stats show that there was 12 shots on goal in the second half from my girls but non went in! :(  ). So the end result was 4-0. I am hoping to take this team next time we play them.
OH and Little Miss picked me up at about 8pm and we headed home. I was up till 11pm trying to work out what went wrong in the first half of the second game. A lot was fitness and having to wait so long for the second game..  but they are lacking some key structure knowledge which show with the play not linking and they were not working together, communicating so lots of work at training is needed!

Yesterday started at 4.30am
Drove to Brisbane picked up Jess my hockey friend also doing the fun run then headed to South Bank
Fun run started at 7.05 but it took a while to get to the start line. There were some great bottle necks on the run too. i spent so time working my way around groups of ppl that it was pissing me off a little. but its a fun Run and i tried to remember that. I finish with a time on my watch of 27mins but with all the conjustion  i know that i so could have got under 25mins.

After fun run it was show bag(race bag) and find Jess who did the run just under 35min. We then headed back to the car. I drop her back home (where she went back to bed LOL lucky for some) and i headed back down the coast to coach a Hockey game. Game started at 9.30am got to the girls at 9am - went through what need to be done and then there was warm up. By 10.40 game was finish ( lost 3-1) and they played a bad game of hockey. 2nd half was better, but i have a lot of work to do and i need to plan the training sessions well.

OH turned up at 10.20am with a coffee in one hand for me and Little Miss in his arms. I took both Little Miss and the Coffee (the best coffee in the world at that time) and OH went for a surf.  Team talk at the end of the game and get all uniforms then LM and me where off to the shops for weekly food shopping. Then back home for lunch and 5 loads of washing which included the most smelly uniforms in the world (as i have taken the coaching role on I seem to have missed place my manager! i am not wanting to put my full option about this in words but i am not happy!),
Cleaned the house and when OH was home we took the dogs to the beach for there daily walk/run /swim. After that it was time at the play ground for LM. I joined in on the fun until i smashed my head on a walk way with a metal bean over head! (I am 6 foot and the play ground is for kids what was i thinking) any way with the biggest bump on my head we went home. Bathed, feed and more washing. Put LM to bed then OH cleaned  up and I iced my head! took some drugs and off to bed at 10.

Now back at work today and hoping for a nice 8km run tonight.

hope someone out there had a nice relaxing weekend!
