July 31st

We had the morning off, so I got to sleep in a little.  I got up around 9 this morning.  I went to eat breakfast and went to the wrestling room to see who was there.  There were a few guys working out.  I watched them for a while and then I went to lift weights.  It was nice to be off the mats this morning.  My body was pretty tired so it was good to chance up the routine a little.

After my lift I went to eat lunch but I was not that hungry.  I went back to my room and played some video games and watched tv until practice.

This afternoon work out was really tough.  We warmed up on our own and then we drilled technique for about 20 minutes.  Then we did a 45 minute match with no break.  I wrestled Joe for the first 25 minutes then I wrestled with Ryan Tobin for about 10 minutes and finished the last 10 minutes or so with Joe.  After wrestling we had about 10 minutes conditioning and warm down.  I was exhausted after the work out.  I did a little extra on my own then got stretched and a little massage for the trainer.  I took a long shower and then went to eat dinner.

When I finished eating we played dominoes.  Steve Abas and I have been playing one on one all week and he has won every time.  I finally beat him tonight.  Then we played a game with Tim Hartung and CC Fisher.  Abas won that game.

We played until almost 10 and then I came back to my room.  I am going to relax for a while then go to bed pretty soon.
