yeah, i've been feeling pretty good the last few weeks (knock wood). the shin thing from last week seems to have been nothing. just signed up for a race on 23 november on what's apparently a super flat course. that's the target now. i might do one or two before then as well but without tapering, just to practice racing and push myself in competition a bit. for example was thinking to do one of the local parkruns this saturday (see previous post about taxing the old legs a little extra this weekend).
damn nice!
and ya, training races are great.

tonight
- run 10.09 km in 50:24
turned right out the front door rather than left tonight just to try something different. it was really crowded and lots of road crossings so pace was all over the place, but averaged 5:00 and felt absolutely breezy. this route was uphill first then downhill, which is the opposite of when i run down past the olympic park and to the canals, so final 2km were extra quick with no added effort.
EDIT: gukl and joe, y'all wanna do the hackney marshes parkrun on saturday morning?
one day we'll have the ability to @ :<

Basketball / Re: The Basketball Misc Thread
« on: October 17, 2019, 12:12:24 am »a bunch of my classmates are chinese and i was talking with two of them about lebron today. apparently the reaction in china to lebron backtracking is super positive (unsurprisingly, perhaps). lebron and the NBA have money to make in china, they don't give a shit about hong kong. one of the few things democrats and republicans can agree on in the US is "china bad!" US nba fans will forget about this in a few weeks or months and meanwhile by bending over backwards to kiss china's ass the NBA is protecting its image in a place that won't forget how it handles this situation.
not saying it's right, just saying.
good info.
and a pissed off lebron to start the nba szn is going to be dangerous for his opposition.

damn nice! congrats!
if 5k PR attempt is all out, i wouldn't do it. if it's a "Safe PR attempt", ie, not grinding/pushing all out, more comfortable (just because fitness is so much higher), then i'd do it.
grinding pr attempt 3 days from a race could be a bit much.

bw: 143
- nice!
injury: annoying today
05:30 PM: stretch: adductors
- decent. got some good depth
12:45 AM: jacknobber + stretch: ~30 min
- ok this is no joke
- all hamstrings/adductors for now
- one leg propped up on a countertop, with jacknobber underneath hamstring/adductors, slowly putting pressure on various spots until my muscles relaxed etc
- loosened some stuff up bigtime
- some of it was crazy painful but got it to melt
- adductors are especially painful
going to experiment more with that.
post-stretch, feel damn good.

« on: October 15, 2019, 09:24:08 pm »wtf was he talking about?
lebron confused af.QuoteWhen asked whether Morey should be reprimanded for his tweet, James responded, "I think when we all sit back and learn from the situation that happened, understand that what you could tweet or could say, and we all talk about this freedom of speech -- yes, we do all have freedom of speech, but at times there are ramifications for the negative that can happen when you're not thinking about others and you're only thinking about yourself."
"I don't want to get into a word or sentence feud with Daryl Morey, but I believe he wasn't educated on the situation at hand and he spoke. So many people could have been harmed, not just financially but physically, emotionally, spiritually. So just be careful what we tweet and what we say and what we do, even though yes, we do have freedom of speech, but there can be a lot of negative that comes with that too."
I took his comment to be related to the China/NBA situation rather than the China/HK situation. By tweeting what he did Morey put a lot at risk financially which he "wasn't educated on the situation". I can't see how he could possibly mean the China/HK situation. He's not dumb and knows the value of his words. Maybe he should have been more explicit.
yea good point.
it's a weird situation. he's taking tons of heat for it, and hasn't really clarified.
i dont get this tho, maybe im the confused one

My team and this league just went through a difficult week. I think people need to understand what a tweet or statement can do to others. And I believe nobody stopped and considered what would happen. Could have waited a week to send it.
wait a week to send it??
so that the nba could get two pre-season games aired on china TV first, before Morey voices his opinion on the protests?
i dno that makes it even worse LMAO.

Let me clear up the confusion. I do not believe there was any consideration for the consequences and ramifications of the tweet. I’m not discussing the substance. Others can talk About that.
dno. i imagine this is going to play out a bit longer. it's a weird one.
