if only we could ignore those thoughts in our head, on demand.

from my experience, the more I think about a potential run, the higher the chance that i'll break down mentally. don't get discouraged with any of the 'self doubt' thoughts, everyone gets them.. I don't think they ever really go away tbh... the thing that makes it sweet is finally achieving some goal in the midst of training where your brain is constantly telling you to stop. Your brain just wants you to stop & get on the couch and eat funyuns. our brains are weak bichez.

as for the negative thoughts.. no matter what pace i'm running, they always happen when I START running.. ie the first minute or so. After that, if i'm not pushing myself to the extreme, they start to go away. If i'm pushing myself to the max, they are there for most of the run.. so I think your brain telling you to stop when you first start running, is pretty normal.

some elite ultra-marathonner, navy seal guy once said something interesting.. on an ultra run, he just keeps telling himself stuff like: "just run 10 more feet hard" .. then when he runs those 10 feet, he says it again.. and again.. and again.. lmao.

so....... GSW's bench is better than CLE's starters? :o

man the way game 1 turned out, could be a very bad sign for Cleveland. I'd like to see a 7 game series but.. not looking too optimistic after that. OKC got destroyed by SA in game 1 and bounced back, so it's easy to get caught up in "one game".

if there was any game they needed to steal, it was that one (with Curry/Klay so quiet).

very bad loss.



i might need to watch sunday's game at oracle..

the warriors are not coming back anymore  :headbang:

lmao.. very possible.

Just woke up
Heart rate: 53bpm  :personal-record: haha

I'm really not feeling it, it was warm last night so it took me awhile to fall asleep and I'm just exhausted.  Plus I have to go in for an 11-11 today so if I do go in I gotta make it fast

RDL: 225x3x10
Lat pulldownsx a lot
30 min bike ride:9.5 miles  went between 18mph for my low and 26mph for my high :personal-record:

weight was up due to water but my gut and tits are shrinking

nice!! 26mph is moving.

almost as fast as usain bolt... i kid.  :trollface:

This may sound weird but does anyone keep a limp wrist lol while they run like a t-rex?  For some reason it helps keep my shoulders relaxed and keeps me from moving side to side.

i imagine that means lettings your hands flop around? if so, i don't.

my wrists/hands are loose but they maintain a position.

from what i've seen of pros, alot of them use relaxed sprinter hands, ie, thumb on forefinger:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-y4RxtDWRI" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-y4RxtDWRI</a>

^^ looks like both of them are using it there.. if they go for an all out sprint to close out, they'll blade their hands (open them up/extend fingers).

actually a good analogy:

Quote
Hands
Do not clench the fists or let the hands flop at the wrist. Have your sprinter loosely curl the fingers with the thumbs resting lightly on the index fingers. Keep the thumb and index finger contact light. So light in fact that the sprinter should be able to carry a potato chip between them and not break it.

i can't read all this shit because it makes me rage blackout. but i caught a couple of things. first, kobe nicknamed himself the black mamba, which is fucking stupid. also the idea that kobe was better than lebron is HILARIOUS. not by any measure is that true except maybe three-point shooting, which, it's not like kobe was a lights-out shooter.

also, i hate the argument about a player not being as good as another because he doesn't have the work ethic. we've had this discussion before about randy moss. couple reasons:
1. do you follow the player around all day and observe how he uses his time? you don't? right, right.
2. granted that the player isn't working as hard as you think he could, are you sure that if the player worked harder he would be better? what proof do you have that he wouldn't burn out or break down if he worked "harder"? none? oh, okay, cool.

in conclusion, lebron james is the best basketball player in the world and has been for most of the last decade. THE BEST. there is literally not a single person on earth better than him, out of 7+ billion. so to say he would be better if he did this or did that or worked harder or whatever is just ridiculous.

short & sweet. well said.

ya it's easier said than done.. but basically f'n sprint for a second when that happens just to snap out of going slow.

happens to me all of the time.. very rarely I overcome it. heh. but when I do, I sprint through or sprint afterwards for a second to get my speed back up then try to refocus.

with all of the political turmoil in Brazil, Zika, Parasites, health experts saying not to go etc, Rio 2016 could end up being pretty weird. I'm still curious to see if athletes end up not competing/attending, especially females.

and this:

personal experience:

Kids on my h.s. basketball team (JV) said stuff like that alot.. but the team was mostly white. They didn't grow up playing basketball with mostly black people, like I did. They were always extra-intimidated when we'd go into an "all black school" such as Ely or Dillard. I'd actually get way more playing time during those games because I could break their full court press, lol. So to me it was just normal, and I was always the rarity (because I was white) growing up. When I was younger people would call me white boy, Larry Bird, and eventually Jason Williams. lmao.

I'd just suspect that a sport that is majority x-race, athletes would mention the race of someone who is y-race.. seems common from what i've seen. Usually it's not racist, it's just some kind of distinguishing feature that somehow is used to label someone.. However, i've witness it used in racist ways.

I don't know if I ever mentioned it here, but, that kind of stuff was what actually made me not play varsity my senior year (junior year I broke my wrist). It's one of my few "life changing moments". The varsity coach was giving me a ride home after a summer league game and was criticizing the way I handle the ball. That game he benched me several times for actually driving in and scoring, or getting fouled; because I did it before we made 3 passes. Anyway, he told me straight up, no joke, right to my face in the car: "we don't play black ball here".. I was done after that. He kept asking me to try out/play, he had no idea why I wasn't. I really wish I had actually told him why I didn't care to play for him. That really bothered me & it still does today. That coach really ripped something from me, I really loved the game, but I lost alot of love for it when he hit me with that.

during a 1 mile run:
1 KM  :personal-record:: 3m:15s (-6s off previous PR)

(different run, 0.26 in 1m:16s):
- According to Strava, best estimated 400m: 1m:11s

Going to track PR's and such for estimated 400m run.. That's an important number.
