I practiced my pickle ball serve for about an hour. Not sure why I'm so bad at serving. 
Then I did 20 minutes of sprint and change of direction training some of it with a soccer ball. 
This afternoon Doone and I did a little hike in the Hualapai mountains also.

I tried to play it smart this morning and just did a 2 mile TM walk then some core work.  I finished off with some stretching and while stretching my right calf felt a little pain. Now it hurts a bit.  I think it is one of those things that will feel fine by tomorrow, but really?  I have done all this sprint training to get ready for the soccer this weekend and have had no problems and then today after a walk and some light stretching I have a niggle.  That just seems to be how my athletic life has gone the last decade.  Fingers crossed that it feels better by tomorrow night.

I went to the alumni soccer event and had a blast.  My calf held up and I played rather well.  It was good to see a few old teammates and it was great to play again.  I think I'll try and go again next year. We played for a couple hours.  My legs and lungs were shot be the end.

I ran an easy mile plus then did some sprinting.  Then I did a light upper body and core workout.  Nice way to start the day.

20 mile Zwift ride with Blake, I didn't ride very hard tonight.

The weather is cooling down a bit and I wimped out on going to the lake to swim this morning even though it was a beautiful morning.  I did do a 1 mile TM walk and some core work though.
