COLONIAL ON THE ROAD AT HOPEWELL TONIGHT

The Colonial Heights Colonials football team will be on the road tonight at Hopewell and it will Hopewell's homecoming as well. I think the Colonials will have a good shot another victory tonight if they don't have to many turnovers tonight. In a big Central District match up tonight Dinwiddie will be at Thomas Dale. Also tonight the Crawford County Eagles will be back at home against the Jordan Red Jackets, the Jackets enter the game at 2-2 while the Eagles are 2-4. Down at the beach First Flight be at Pasquotank. In ACC battle last night Wake Forest beat Clemson 12-7. In the NL playoffs last night the Phillies took game one 3-2 over the Dodgers. Qualifying for this weeks Nascar race at the Lowe's Motor Speedway was washed out last night so Jimmie Johnson will start from the pole for Saturday's nights race. There was bit of an altercation in the garage last night between Kevin Harvick and Carl Edwards stemming form last weeks big wreck at Talladega, there was a heated exchange of words and then there were a couple shoves and or punches thrown. My weekend did get off to a good start last night when our fall baseball team won 11-1, of the 4 games that I been to with this group it was by far he best game they have had. My PAIN index has actually gone down a bit this morning but it is subject to rise at anytime this weekend. MICKEY

DID YOU KNOW
A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why.

Deconditioning, also called detraining is simply losing fitness when you stop training. Many people stop exercising at times for many reasons. Illness, injury , holidays, work, travel and social commitments often interfere with training routines. This detraining effect is one of the main principles of conditioning. The principle of use/disuse refers to the "use it or lose it" concept. However, how quickly you lose fitness depends on how fit you are, how long you have been exercising, and on how long you stop.
