Ankle feels okay although it gets stiff if it's still for too long. Hurt a bit this morning but was okay as soon as I started moving around.

Knee feels okay relaxed or in extension but flexing against resistance from about 30 degrees to about 90 degrees is still a bit uncomfortable. Not really pain, just doesn't feel like the left one does. Either way, gonna try a few jumps later and see how it does. Worse comes to worst I'll just jump rope and do upper body/core.

Yup and yup. Ankle felt a bit off this morning but is 95% now. Of course, I couldn't get off scot-free, so now my right knee is acting up. Hamstring insertion on the back/outside (posterior lateral?), same place as before but it's been okay for a while now. FML. More NSAIDs tonight and hopefully it'll be strong tomorrow.

Oh yeah, my workout today was...resting.

Workout today

Summer league game 1:

Team seems really cool. Game was fun although pretty disorganized because everyone was still getting to know each other and whatnot. Plus the twin brother of the guy who runs the league is on my team and he sucks, just has horrible instincts and clogs the offense a lot. I played meh D, decent O. Need to improve my mark and also ability to lay out for D's. Scored a bunch of times (5?) on fast breaks which was pretty sweet. They turned the lights off on us with the game tied 15-15, next point wins  >:(

Also I turned my ankle juuuust a little bit so I sat out the last few points. Iced a bit, gonna take some acetaminophen and do nothing tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be okay on Thursday cause we don't have a game and I'd like to do some jumping.

there's this pain in my right arch of my feet, like its being stretched or something.

actually it's been there since a year or 2 ago already, just that i see it as just more of a minor irritant than anything else haha. somedays i dont feel it, somedays it gets quite icky. also happens when i wear shoes like chucks or vans for awhile... what gives huh?

looks like i need to strengthen my ankles as well, those sprains from ages ago are coming back to haunt me, sometimes the ankle aches in a few spots.

i've had that.. i had it very bad actually, had to stop jumping/sprinting etc for a few months, it was so painful.. only thing that fixed that was resting :/

my feet have gotten so much stronger since wearing nike zoom waffle racers.. they really help strengthen your feet, i imagine vibrams would also help.. vans/chucks have bad arch support so, that might be the reason.

peace

Plantar fasciitis is a bitch. Try rolling the arch of your foot with a tennis ball or bouncy ball, stretching your big toe nice and long (60 seconds each in the morning and evening is ideal according to my PT), and doing some barefoot warm-ups. Here's what I do for my feet before a sprinting/jumping workout (all x15-20 yards):

walk forward on outsides of feet
walk forward on insides of feet
walk with feet turned out (penguin style)
walk with feet turned in (pigeon-toed style)
walk backwards on toes
walk forwards on heels

Takes about two-three minutes.

I would also say, DO NOT switch straight into FiveFingers or other barefoot-type shoes for running or jumping. Try walking around barefoot a bit,

Anybody else watch the Daily Show last night? John Oliver's piece about the US-England game was freaking hilarious.

Then there were some dudes from the top men's club team in the area doing a track workout. They finished right around the same time I did, so we ended up throwing around for about half an hour. Was originally just short-to-medium throws, but then the field emptied out so we ended up doing some longer stuff. Lots more sprinting and jumping. Not too much, but still, more intensity than I meant to do today. Whatever, it was worth it to throw around.

REA SQUATS :

-Going up was damn explosive , because of all the effort in the transition. So explosive that i could not decelerate at the top so i was jumping a few inches off the ground. Is that bad?



I have the same question, actually.
