Bluestreak Cycle 2, The End

I finished my second Bluestreak cycle this past Monday on a pretty solid note. The post test showed mostly improvements. The improvements weren’t as large as after the first cycle, which would be expected; but there were improvements nonetheless. What the post test doesn’t look at is my shooting, which has continued to get stronger. [...]

Bluestreak Cycle 2, Week 9: Cliffhangers

There’s this game on The Price is Right called Cliffhangers. In it, a mountain climber works his way up the mountain and if the player doesn’t guess prices correctly, he can fall right off the edge. I felt like the mountain climber on Monday night!
The Monday treadmill session had me working on a grade virtually [...]

Bluestreak, Cycle 2 Week 8

Monday night was solid. The treadmill was difficult, but Shane kept up the supportive talk and guidance and I got through it pretty well. It was another round of steep inclines and crazy sprints. I managed to not rely too much on the additional support cable. I wore it a lot to help out, but [...]

I’ve been lax posting the past couple weeks, for no real good reason. That should change as the new season gets underway tomorrow, and frankly I should be blogging about Bluestreak more too because this new cycle is quite good.

Bluestreak Cycle 2, Week 2

This week has been some good Bluestreaking. My wrist shot is making some improvements. I’m starting to improve my aim finally. I’ve been working hard this week on shooting high in corners, really going for the post usually since that’s what last week’s skills competition involved. It’s getting better. I’m also seeing more often that [...]

Bluestreak, Cylce 2 Begins

It’s been a few weeks of inactivity on the hockey blog because things just got dormant with the Labor Day weekend, and then an extra week off because the rink had events that postponed the start of the playoffs.
This week, however, I went back to Chelsea Piers Bluestreak to begin another cycle of training. This [...]

Anniversary Saturday…

10 Years…: Yesterday, as you know if you read yesterday’s entry, Will and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. True, we’re obviously not really married because we’re not allowed; but as far as we’re concerned we are married. Obviously, someday we hope to be married under the law. Could it happen before we hit our [...]
