Softball and Weights
So my softball season started last week with what I would call up and down results. In our first game I was one for two from the plate with a home run. We 10 runned the other team in the 4th inning and the game was called. In our second game it was about 30 degrees out and windy as all hell so I went 1 for 4 ans dropped 2 balls in the outfield (I don’t play well in the cold). I am looking forward to this week since it is supposed to be 68 and sunny for our next game.
As for the weight room things have been going pretty well. I am steadily increasing my weight and strength and have decided to move to a low weight high rep for the next two weeks to help with my swing and my speed. I am planning on applying for some coaching positions (track and field) next year with the local high school and may start some schooling to become a personal trainer so I can make some extra money. I hope that everyone here is having a great week.
I almost forgot!!! I will be traveling to Vermont next week to see my sister graduate from law school. We are also planning on going to Boston to see MY RED SOX play the Brewers at Fenway (Oh my god I just started drooling)!!! I am a huge Red Sox Fan and I can’t wait to see them play on the home field. I will check back after we return and post some pictures of our trip.

Brrr! Playing in 30 degree weather sounds absolutely horrible!! But I am a big wuss.
Good to hear that things in the weight room are going well, and that you’ve been seeing some good results, Jake! I think you would make an excellent coach, and a phenomenal personal trainer! You definitely have what it takes to shine in both areas. At least from what I’ve seen. 
Your trip to Vermont sounds like a lot of fun! Have fun at the Red Sox games and take lots of pics!!!
