Looney out for the rest of the series. Klay may not play. Durant out.

damn.. if TOR doesn't get this game, they are toast.

i'm actually pulling for GSW now tho.. can't root against them when they are this jacked up.

Curry time.

^^ long story short, I might have worked some magic on myself. I got really annoyed at the injury and just tried to stretch the living fu*k out of it - which I knew could be a very bad idea. This was up there with the longest & most intense i’ve ever stretched.

holding stretch positions for 5-10 minutes and such is very difficult. you have to focus so hard on just staying relaxed & calm. really controlling your breathing, trying to just melt into it, and then hold with no protective tension.

could be a David Goggins moment lol. He’s well known for 2-3 hour stretch sessions every night. I def don’t want to get into that… But sometimes your body is just urging you to do some intense stretching, it feels like an instinct. Apparently he fixed his jacked up body (from stress/training) by really committing to stretching.

when I was stretching yesterday, I wasn’t thinking about the injured area actually healing… I just wanted it to release it’s grip for a while and fucking relax.

would be amazing if it’s fixed now.

pc!

Sometimes when I do this it feels amazing and fixes me, occasionally it just makes it worse though. Guess you just gotta play it by feel!

ya.

need to really try not to force it. i think that's where it falls apart.

stretching has wrecked me probably more than it's helped. but there's got to be something i'm missing. hehe.

So many gems to find in those stats:
So after having run 20K at ~14:45 per 5K  , Kiphoge goes 'meh, i feel fresh, let's pick it up' and he does 20->25 in 14:14 , a time which until 1939 was WR.
Kipsang's slowest km pace was 3'18'' , i dont think i'll ever in my life be be able to do 3'18'' in an all out 1km sprint lol.
Kiphoge never went above 3m/km.
Inhuman.

i have absolutely no ability to comprehend it.

i've run a 2:49 km, all out effort. it gives me no perspective of how someone can hold 2:5X per km, for 42+ km.

very quick log.

this morning's run.... legs felt insanely loose/relaxed. in fact, i was going as slow as possible and still hit 10:0X min/mi. That's actually pretty nuts. Recent sessions at the same effort were > 11 easily. Evening session wasn't as good, legs felt heavier, 11:0X.. but that morning session, legs were crazy loose. I love that feeling. Need to figure out how to always have that "snappy loose feeling". I imagine lots of elite runners, jumpers, sprinters etc experience that often.

gn!

kawahi lenard just showed why you shouldn't skip leg day too much....

the guy looked like he was walking on stilts or ice skates tbh some times.....


all upper no lower

he hasn't looked the same since he hurt his leg against MIL.. eh.

Game 2 GSW.

Iggy comes through again.

GSW really beat up tho.. if they get Durant back, TOR is in serious trouble. If they don't have Looney, Klay, or Durant in game 3.. could be bad.

TOR gave it away.

in no professional bball league should a team ever give up 18 straight points.

insane.
