Off-ice training

In preparation for the Agricore United event in Beausejour this week, I opted for some aggressive off-ice training over the long weekend.

My wife and I drove up to Swan River to help my mother-in-law move from the farm house in Kenville to a condo in town.

I went up and down the stairs to the basement 300 times, ripping the quads to shreds. I also helped move appliances up and down stairs, in the rain and sleet, over a two-day period. It was a tremendous, old-fashioned workout that will surely reap riches by the end of the week.

Leigh and I will return to noon-hour practice tomorrow as we prep for our match against Reid Carruthers at the Asham Major League tomorrow night.

Speaking of oldee-fashionedee, Rosanne is currently taking the thimble and thread to the badge and jacket... It's the first of what I hope will be many badges on our flashy new Champion gear.
