i think the caption for the last one on deadspin was, "dunk victim must now give up basketball, take up an instrument or something."

savage.

Put on some cleats, ran some sprints with the dog. Chased her around doing some lateral agility stuff too. I gotta do this more. A few max effort daily sprints will add up.

nice! that is probably the most fun training.. awesome.

i used to do that with "gizmo" (my 9 lb. silky terrier), back when I was near peak performance. That little dog ended up becoming too fast for me. So fast that I had to stop, because he'd keep trying to mess with me by trying to run outside of the park/area we were in, and get to the street.. so it just became too dangerous.

so funny though that some 9 lb. little dog eventually destroyed me on agility etc.. fwiw though, he's abnormally impressive (athletically) for his breed.

Yeah I have a husky.

nice!! those seem like really loyal/intelligent dogs, from what i've seen at the dog parks.

You always have to keep that breed of dog on a leash because they run away if you don't use one.

had no idea.. hah

Having to hold a leash is probably making my sprint sessions ineffective lol.

dno, sounds kind of primal too though. could trigger some beast genetics in you. ;f

How do you find those full court run ups?

I liked them. First time ever performing runups from that far. I tried to build speed for the entire runup, but sometimes I had to re-gather myself.

I also didn't attempt to build maximum speed (but speed was decent) or do a max effort jump, so it was probably alot easier because of that. But even so, I can feel it breaking a "mental barrier" in a sense. I haven't had the confidence to even attempt runups from that far out, so simply feeling confident about attempting it was interesting.

Quote
I want to try these soon as it mimics what I usually experience in games when I have attempted dunks.

ya makes sense. i'd start with half court first though.. if you still want to do full court, could run slow until half court, then build the runup from there.. but i wouldn't try accelerating from full court right from the getgo.. i imagine you'd feel lots of "inhibition" if you try to runup from too far out.

still not asleep. been stuck on some code for literally 4 hours.. really annoyed.

anyway, just to get it working, I did some crazy hacky shit. this is one of the ugliest blocks of code i've ever written.

Code: [Select]
    -- welcome to the inferno
    --
    -- This is what you call, the definition of a massive hackjob.
    --
    -- It's nearly 7 AM and I still can't figure this out..
    --
    <|> (do
           org_sid <- notCRUDstr1 -- Organizations
           (do
              segment "f"
              (do
                 forum_sid <- notCRUDstr1 -- OrganizationsForums
                 (do
                    board_sid <- notCRUDstr1 -- OrganizationsForumsBoards
                    (do
                       thread_sid <- notCRUDstr1 -- OrganizationsForumsBoardsThreads
                       fromPathSegments >>= \k -> if k == Index then (OrganizationsForumsBoardsThreads <$> pure org_sid <*> pure forum_sid
<*> pure board_sid <*> pure (ShowS thread_sid)) else (OrganizationsForumsBoardsThreadsPosts <$> pure org_sid <*> pure forum_sid <*> pure
board_sid <*> pure thread_sid <*> pure k))     <|>     (fromPathSegments >>= \k -> if k == Index then (OrganizationsForumsBoards <$> pure
org_sid <*> pure forum_sid <*> pure (ShowS board_sid)) else (OrganizationsForumsBoardsThreads <$> pure org_sid <*> pure forum_sid <*> pure
board_sid <*> pure k))) <|> (fromPathSegments >>= \k -> if k == Index then (OrganizationsForums <$> pure org_sid <*> pure (ShowS
forum_sid)) else OrganizationsForumsBoards <$> pure org_sid <*> pure forum_sid <*> pure k)) <|> OrganizationsForums <$> pure org_sid <*>
fromPathSegments) <|> Organizations <$> (pure (ShowS org_sid)))


<-- dies.

He is one of my all time favourites for sure. What struck me about watching him play was the way he moved and covered the court and then to be able to explode. I can't remember him ever getting credit as a great athlete though.

On a side note I picked up a pair of the Reebok Answer 1's for $5 from a foot locker that was closing down about 2 years ago. Played in them once and they felt heavy and clunky so shelved them. Played in them again last week as my hyperdunks well and truly have no cushioning left and they were solid. Have a feeling they will break in to be a great shoe.



nice!

cool url, shows the shoe and him playing in it:

I had the Reebok Question, and the Reebok Answer VII:



i remember loving the VII's.

Tuesday 26/07/16

Woke up this morning at 92.7. Damage hasn't been as bad as I thought. Clean eating will easily get me to 90ish in about 2 weeks and then the hard work begins on getting to 87-88. Hit my cal and macro target yesterday and it was a decent amount of food so pretty happy to run with that for the moment.

Also, was watching some old NBA vids last night with Iverson and Ray Allen. Easy to forget just how good of an athlete Iverson was and how balanced he was as a runner and also what Ray used to do at the rim before he parked himself behind the 3pt line.

ya man AI was truly a one man show.. he was incredible to watch.

as far as I can remember, I don't recall anyone ever locking him down... nor a team ever shutting him down. He always found a way to score. He could light it up on the outside, but, he didn't live there.. he could get to the rim every which way. And man his defense was SOLID, so many steals. So fun to watch. I still remember watching him obsessively when he was in college (georgetown).

i think everyone hates mosquitos. but, for my mom they are actually a serious problem. given her condition, if she gets just one bite, it itches nonstop for days.. I'm thinking about getting the area around the house treated with Terminix mosquito service. Has anyone ever done anything like that? Or have some magical solution? :f

I live in south florida so, they are all over the place right now.. and especially with the zika concerns, I need to try something.

If I stand in one spot in my backyard without constantly moving, i'll have like 10 on me.
