WOW at the first little dude. INSANE VERT.
OMFG.
First miss was psychotic .. his next attempt (make) was solid. Simple dunk with crazy vert. His first miss made me throw my hands up like "oh shit" - looked near 50.

i actually bought these photos.. they were only $8 so whatever. marathonfoto was like $30 per digital image, ftfo. Plus this race meant a bit more to me than other races so whatever.. and they are solid shots.
will post them to my IG later with a description but here's teh raw images:
this is a solid shot:
I wish they had captured the whole start, third place guy on the right unpictured etc:
^^ my shorts & shirt are reflective .. had no idea!!! awesome. lol.
^^ i'm just now realizing the guy in the yellow jersey (who won) is on the runner's depot racing team .. damn makes me want to beat him even more now (lol). I want to beat those guys (they are fast), they usually dominate the local races. There's a reason they have those jersey's.. any time you see one of those, the person is usually competing for the top spot
Need to beat them. motivation

rest/recovery/heal up.
Felt incredible this morning .. good thing I committed to shutting it down last night. I'd have definitely done my track workout this morning, which would have just continued to kick these tweak cans down the road. Need to get rid of these nagging issues so I can get back to work. I have a really great idea of what I need to do now to get to the next level & stay there (before attempting to level up again months later).

man i love walking on grass. would love to run on it too but, during my walk i found a sharp chicken bone & a sharp piece of plastic. If I had landed on that while running, foot = wrecked.

- vo2 max: 64
still surprised not to see it drop back down to 61 etc. i'm liking the vo2max measurement, even if it's not entirely accurate, if it's relatively accurate (to me), that'd be a nice measure to keep my eye on, especially since it's measuring it the same during relaxed walks: it's using pace & heart rate to somehow calc it.

Happy Thursday everybody. Finally caught up on sleep and regained a bit more confidence after my trip to Poland 🇵🇱 for the #warsawhalf. Excited for this weekend as I will get back to hard training and run some of my last big workouts prior to #LondonMarathon April 22nd. Let’s keep grinding. Let’s give ourselves a chance. Stay in it, never give up! Thanks for the support!

#tbt December 2004 USA Club XC Championships Portland Oregon. I was 22 years old and running with people who I looked up to big time, Jorge Torres, Adam Goucher, Jonathon Riley. I wanted what they had. I would get it too. Your dreams can come true as well, be relentless and never give up. 13 and half years later, still not giving up.

« on: March 29, 2018, 07:32:57 am »Yeah heat can beat cavs i think possible too, cavs a bit better than before with changes but their just not a great team imo, their above avg i guess, but not "great"
i dont think heat would have a chance against toronto this year, their 2nd unit is better than several teams' starting unit.... i think tor could be the 2nd best team in the nba behind gsw.... come playoff time.... these guys go all out.... esp at home when it matters....
ya TOR is legit. I think MIA has a chance vs BOS, and can def beat CLE .. but ya TOR has too much playoff experience and they are a machine right now.
i'd love to see the Raptors come out of the East.

about to sleep but had to post this quick status update:
knee feels incredibly good. feels like I can go race. kinda nuts considering I could barely walk home during my dog walk, knee was in alot of pain after I maximally extended them.
anyway, after baseball bat rolling, very tight/restrictive icing (ace bandage wrapped crazy tight), and then a hot shower .. knee feels 100%.
i imagine my knee will get back to feeling a little weird tomorrow, but it's very surprising how good it feels right now.
anyway, the plan from 03/29/2018 to 04/03/2018 is:
- light walking, morning & afternoon or early evening (doubles): ~1 hour max each walk in order to not "tighten up"
- occasionally follow one of the walks with some bodyweight exercises: pullups/dips/single leg raises+abductions/calf raises
- ice my knee alot
- keep digging in with the baseball bat
- keep stretching lightly
going to use this opportunity to incorporate some other things back into my routine (baseball bat, light stretching).
03/29/2018: 2 x walk + 1 x bw exercise
03/30/2018: 2 x walk
03/31/2018: 2 x walk + 1 x bw exercise
04/01/2018: 2 x walk
04/02/2018: 2 x walk + 1 x bw exercise
04/03/2018: 1 x walk
04/04/2018: 30 min light running (grass) + bw exercise
04/05/2018: 2 x walk
04/06/2018: 1 hour light running (grass) + bw exercise
04/07/2018: rest
04/08/2018: 10k race
04/09/2018: rest
04/10/2018: light running in the morning, 1 mile race in the evening
motivating myself to rest/recover ^^
