meant to get a workout in this afternoon after my board meeting but i ended up having to stay through the end, 4 hours longer than i thought i'd have to be there. now gotta go to some friends' housewarming and christ do i need a beer. better luck tomorrow.

 

like a boss. awesome.

chiming in late on the jump squat debate to say: even when using DBs, be careful of your lower back. fucked myself up doing jump squats with 25-pound DBs a few years ago because i failed to maintain tight core and let my tailbone tuck under suddenly and under load. very unpleasant.

soooo fun, much less running, quick points, my team actually started to learn how to force. also we won all our games.

no identity of my own? you called me a poli-correct super left wing douche bag in the preceding sentence. if that's not an identity, i don't know what is. you can't have it both ways.

to answer your question: it's great. "political correctness" is a chickenshit term used by people who don't like to feel uncomfortable when their power is challenged by the people they oppress. when someone says it, what they mean is, e.g., "i really wish i could still get away with calling women who don't want to have sex with me 'cold bitches' without anyone calling me out on it." being left wing means that i believe that power -- financial, political, social, cultural -- should be shared equitably among all people, rather than concentrated in a few hands and wielded to oppress the majority. currently the world mainly follows the latter model, but fighting to move people toward greater equality and against oppression gives my life purpose. i'm pretty okay with that.

as far as being a douche bag: if i've been rude to you sometimes, i apologize. i was more patient as a little kid than i am as an adult and that bothers me sometimes. you are deeply irritating as an online presence. sometimes you make good posts and i like to follow your training, but a lot of the time i wish it were easier to avoid you. you make that difficult by spamming the board with so many threads.

- run 4km
first 3.5 @ ~5:00/km, last 500m appreciably faster, maybe 4:00/km. pretty easy but i am not in any kind of running shape. contemplated the amount of work it'd take to get into 19:xx 5k shape (i.e. as fast as i was the one year i ran JV cross country in high school).

- walk 500m

- stretch

quads shakin' a bit after. felt fucking great though. let's see how my knees and toes do tomorrow.

Because I don't follow the sport enough: Does ODB have the best one-handed catch in NFL history?

yes.
