Thread: Have You Seen Me Lately?

Cooperstown! Thats bad ass! I assume the trip was great?!?!

Hey we are playing in Troy Il.....the 18th and 19th in an NSA reginonal....you wont be there will ya?

Great trip, as a matter of fact. I'm looking forward to going again when it is less crowded.

No plans to be in Troy, sorry. Are you planning to play in the superdraft tourney in November?

Great pics my Friend!!! Love the Kung Fu face!!! Sounds like you have "alot" of fun w/some of your games, sad isn't it!!! Best Wishes and try to stay cool Brother Pylon!!!

Fall session started tonight. Strong win, I went 1-2, walk. Not a bad night, good game with the glove.

OK, I've still been out of the gym, but diet has been better. The softball overload in the last couple of weeks has taken a toll on me. A mild high ankle sprain on the right side, a low ham pull (right behind the knee...is that even still the hamstring?) on the left, and general stiffness all the way around. None of it bad, but all together it slows me down.

On top of that, been busy with work, and not getting enough time to lift at lunch. I also have been doing some stuff around the house, which has led to a lot of clutter in my bike space. I need to get it cleaned out and get back on the wheels.

Looking ahead, I might be able to lift Thursday. I am thinking of going to a full body w/out with lighter weight, high reps and full out ROM, holding the stretch each time. I've done it a little in the past and liked the results. Plus, it should help with some of the muscle tightness, right?

I think it will help Py... lower the weights and you'll recoop faster.

Great foo face on the boy It made me laugh

heya Py!
Sounds like you are doing well!
Sure! or...do what I do...(when do it, of course...)
When the muscles are tight and that ouch feeling comes in...you know...that lactic acid build up? Yeah...that one...what I do is...grab a heavy weight and work out out. There ya go.

Hey all....just touching base....

Diet clean, but work still keeping me locked down. Did some work in the basement, should be able to get back on the bike starting tonight!

I think I have also decided to change career paths. While I thought for a while that HR would be my home long term, I think I've decided I want more. I've started talking to my boss about moving into a P&L role as a project manager, with an eye toward becoming a general manager. The long term aspirations would be executive level positions. The good news is that if I decide I don't like it, I would look even better in HR with some "line" experience.

sounds great, brotha! Keep your eye on that brass ring!

haha....oooohhh... kung fu face!! Very convincing! very cute!!

Those pics are so cute!!! I just love the kung fu face

OK, been absent a bit, but it's been very eventful. Here's what's gone down...

Softball - brutal week. 0-3 Monday, 1-3 Tuesday, double header tonight, went 1-3 and 1-2. The good news is that after going 0-2 in the first game, I went back to my old bat (the Techzilla) and hit the ball well. Maybe it's all mental, but I'm sticking with it for now. Fielding hasn't been great either, mostly because I've been unhappy about my hitting.

More important has been work. I mentioned my desire to move to a P&L spot. Well, there looked to be a good chance of that happening...until Monday, when we fired our CEO. He was a fan of mine, and was one of the reasons I am where I am. But the COO and I are not fans of each other, so I knew working under him wouldn't happen. The other business area looks like it will be under him now as well, meaning my chances of moving to a P&L spot have gone to zero.

Even worse, my boss (VP of HR) no longer reports to the CEO position (our Chairman of the board is the acting CEO while we look). HR is no longer invited to the big boy table, and I have no interest in running HR in a company that doesn't find it important. Even worse, there is a fair chance that my boss will leave or be asked to leave when a new CEO comes in, and chances of me getting his chair have now dropped. (The new guy will likely bring in his own person, or someone who is in with the COO would get it.)

End result, I'm polishing the resume and starting to look about. I think I have my wife positioned for a move, which really opens up the playing field for me. Next step is to talk with recruiters and contacts to see what comes up. It's not an urgent issue, but I'd rather leave on my terms than wait for things to get ugly, you know?

The end result of all this is I haven't been to the gym or doing cardio (except softball), and my diet has been less than stellar....OK, it's sucked. I feel like I've lost a step, and I didn't have that many to give in the first place. Starts with diet, which was good today. Next is commitment to cardio (since my work schedule is keeping me out of the gym). I feel ok with tonight after the two games in the heat, so I need to make sure I'm on the bike tomorrow.

things will fall into place Py!!

I havent been around much either Py. I sure hope that you get things straightened out. By the way playing tommorow in Troy Illinois in an NSA D tourny. I have never played D ball, but ought to be fun. Only 1 homer!!!

que pasa mi amigo?

Back to the grind, no real change at work. Not very motivated, but need to keep plowing through until something changes.

No game tonight due to rain. Did get in 40 min on the bike. Hoping to make it the start of a good stretch.

Same ol same ol...took last week off from the gym b/c I was working to many hours but this week I'm back. Also going to be moving pretty soon so its time to find a new gym in that area

this will all work out, Py.
You should work here. Great area to raise a family. We have softball too...and I know a GREAT realtor to find the best home that suits your family's needs!

Never a dull moment for you, is there Py? You should be able to land on your feet, especially if location is not a driving force.

Dude I have been at the Club Fitness in Creeve Coure all week long. I had fundmentals classes. How far away from there are you?
