suggestion: commit to laying out wayyy more than you think is necessary. like say to yourself, i will lay out five times in this game, and then do it. tell team leadership you're going to do it because you'll probably miss some of the time and give up easy stuff to the O. but it's early in the season and there's no way to figure out when you can get to something with a layout without just doing it. and basically nothing on earth feels better than making a layout play, so when you succeed you will feel like jesus.

right knee bugging this morning. forgot to put on vest before i left the house.

Daily routine.

Dorsiflexion on my right foot is more inhibited by my tib anterior than on my left. Hard feeling to explain, like I can't stop the right one from flexing and stiffening when I lean over that foot, but I can do with the left.

Also, my colleague and I fired a guy today. My first time doing that. It's the right thing to do but it felt awful.

had to go to richmond yesterday at the last minute -- family business -- so could not make it to the gym. got back this afternoon.
