I just got the new Milo, they made it big now like a regular magazine.  Of course one that has no advertisements.  It is an original, no other like it.  Anyway I am published in there again and the article looks pretty good. 

I have a friend and fellow masters thrower Thom that is published in there twice.  He really has a nice article interview combo with Nelson.  Good stuff.  Guy is very talented.  It is hard to keep pumping out articles and the guy has two in there. 

I have to go right to ladies soccer in the USA.  They had an amazing game recently.  I am talking bad ass.  These girls know how to get the job done.  Played over 50 minutes a person short and made up a point and won. 

My training seems to be paying off.  I have gotten a few feet in my 28.  I am more explosive, but it is because I am not so beat up and can move.  Not because it makes me something I was not, it just lets me be me.  That said I am finding the me is not what me used to be.  I am close to 60, less than a foot away with the 28.  I got an after cut, AC personal record on this past Saturday in the stone, but because I did not get the 60 in the 28 I was still hacked off.  I got a pr and am hacked.  Yes that is the state of my thinking at this point. 

Saw a very good friend on Sunday.  Preacher extrodinare, David Hughes.  From Church by the Glades, he made a guest appearance this weekend Sunday in Huntsville.  I got to drive up and spend some of the day and have lunch with him.  We have been friends for 30 years or more.  It was just as always.  I also got to see him preach.  Boy is he spectacular.  He an I have been to 3 Mr. America shows together. 

Back to the training.  I have not done anything heavy now in 6 weeks.  I have been working about 40% and doing speed work.  It is all bar speed and acceleration.  Very few assistance and then throw good on the weekend.  Has been brutal hot over 100 with heat index, high 90's and then humid, so tough to spend more than a couple hours out there.  I am doing it, but you are only effective so long.  Then your practicing bad habits.  It is frustrating as I would like to improve faster.  Craig throws a 93 footer and I am not hitting 60, it makes me crazy.  I can't be that much worse than him, can I?  I realize he is at the top of the food chain, but still I need to be much closer on the deal than this.  And I will. 

Got invited to Loon.  I am very excited about this.  Put an edge on my training that day.  I am thinking about this while I get ready for every set.  It really helps me intensify my training if I ever needed that. 

Yours in steel,

Myles
