A COUPLE OF RAINY DAYS

After having a couple of days with temperatures in the low 90's we are going to have temperatures in the 70's with a bit of rain the next couple of days before the temps head back into the 80's on Saturday. There were some pretty severe storms in the area yesterday however here in Colonial Heights we missed the brunt of them, we did get some heavy rain last night though. The Stanley Cup Finals resume tonight in Pittsburgh with the Penguins trying to even the series up at 2 games a piece. The NCAA baseball playoffs resume tomorrow with the start of the Super Regionals, Virginia plays at Mississippi at 2pm, the East Carolina Pirates don't start there series until Saturday at North Carolina. I threw off the mound for the 1st time about 3 weeks last night so I am bit sore this morning which has caused my PAIN index to go up. MICKEY

Eat Right and Stay Hydrated
Proper nutrition is often overlooked as a way to reach your peak sports potential. But consider how the right food and drink at the right time can be the difference between feeling strong through a race or bonking. Good nutrition alone may not win you medals, but poor nutrition is definitely going to lower your success potential.

Intensity over duration. A growing body of fitness research is finding that workout intensity has more impact on health and weight loss than does workout duration. Interval workouts that mix fast-paced workout segments with moderate segments are yielding faster and better weight loss versus longer moderate duration workouts.
