Mikey’s Blog: October is Here Oct 3
date: 10/04/2011For an all-around, in a general sense, sports fan…... October is a fantastic month. Major League Baseball post-season play, the NFL starting to hit its stride, the NCAA football picture beginning to take shape and last but certainly not least, hockey has begun.
I remember a few years ago when the beginning of the hockey season meant I was always trying to trim off 10-12 pounds before training camp so I wouldn’t draw too much attention to my less-than-acceptable physique when physicals rolled around. I had it down to an art back then; 3 weeks before camp I’d slowly ease into things by opting to not super-size my fast food meals at various drive-thru’s around Ontario. Then, as camp drew nearer I’d start hitting the gym daily after work to sit in the sauna and the steam room (you sweat more in there than you do riding a bike). Then, with the finals days of off-season winding down, I’d simply resort to a diet of water and tuna to shed those last few LB’s. It’s really funny; every year I thought no one would notice…. And every year, everyone did. Oh well, thank God the game has changed since then and players no longer show up to training camp to get into shape, they show up to training camp already in shape.
