Well, wasn't really plannin' on it, but I ended up doin' some HIIT today. Went out and played 5v5 tackle football on the soccer field, usin' the goalie box for the field. In the hour we played, I came to 3 conclusions. 1) my conditionin' ain't as bad as I thought it was (esp since I did sprints shortly after the game ended); 2) although I was able to get 2 tackles in, I need to work on my Greco takedowns; and 3) I need to play football more often.
Funny story from the game. My team was on D, and we were playin' man coverage. Well, the ball got passed to somebody other than my guy, so I go after the fella with the ball (he's fairly close) and dive tryin' to wrap up his legs. Well, my hands miss, but he's headin' out of bounds anyways, but as my body hits the ground and starts slidin', his right foot comes back and catches me square on the forehead. Doesn't affect me at all. I get up and get ready to go again. He says, "Hey, man. You alright? Felt like I kicked ya in the face." I said, "You did. Well, just my forehead, so it's alright," and he just kinda looks at me... I was thinkin', "C'mon, I been hit harder than that." I was afraid I'd hurt his foot with the facebutt to his heel.
Walked back to my apartment for a little bit, then decided I still had energy to burn, so I went back down to the field/track and did about 1 1/2 miles of sprint the long, walk the short on the track, except for 3 times I walked the long (beginnin', middle, and end). Finished off with some tai chi, yoga, and stretchin'.
