26 days until Michigan's defense rips Hawaii's still-beating heart of its chest and eats it raw. The D was so nasty last year until Glasgow went down. We're going to be even better this year.

I just watched this video and got so hyped at my desk I started breathing audibly.

I passed

only thing that matters

bad luck to get sick right after starting the new gig. if it makes you feel any better, my brother has MRSA in his ankle and my friend had a case of strep so bad last week that when he went to the doctor, the doctor went and got all the medical staff together to look at his throat. it literally bled. and he had a 104-degree fever.

am again treading water. need new plan. not having a clear move date is a pain in the ass because it's hard to plan backward from something. i have been doing a kind of t0ddday-peaking-block-lite for months now and while i'm still jumping pretty well from time to time i don't really feel like i'm progressing on anything.

any ideas?

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none, not even left hip
MENTAL STATE: a little weird, too hungry

went easy on myself today, first workout after a few days off. strong focus on form and relaxation. i think i'm gonna play tennis again in a bit. feeling glad to have taken those days off, intentional or not.

EDIT: later

hot, called it at 5-0 because i was getting a headache. need to remember a hat. put a bag of frozen peas on the back of my neck, let's see if it helps.

This is a cool series of animated infographics by the NYT on what separates some of of the top US athletes: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/08/05/sports/olympics-triple-jumper-christian-taylor.html?module=Article&region=footer&action=Click&pgtype=Multimedia

i was watching michigan's first game of the year, against hawaii. first possession, michigan gets down to the hawaii six, knocking on the door. people are going nuts. then they snap the ball and run away from the endzone and out of bounds! no touchdown. then, on the next possession, they line up in a bonkers formation and run around kind of aimlessly, lateraling the ball until someone gets tackled.

fans very frustrated and confused, but i remember saying to myself, they just feel bad for hawaii and want to spot them a couple of possessions.
