got visa, leaving for london in ~15 minutes. our expected place to stay tonight fell through and i can't reach my gf now to confirm booking an airbnb so might have to leave for the airport without knowing my actual destination tomorrow, lol. heeeere we go.

i missed this, you're moving to London? when did this happen - belgium was the plan last i read (or is london just en-route?)

i'll be down there quite a bit over the next few months as my gf is currently living there, lets park run!

yes! adarq.org london park run meetup!

who else is here and wants to run?

can't wait for this park run/race meetup. that's going to be fun.

one day i'll run with you folks.. somehow.

ETA: it's funny, that's three adarq.org members whose gfs are drawing them to london.

hah. that's cool.

5th set.

INCREDIBLE MATCH.

box jumps were nice!

Was looking at some jump technique videos of how to SVJ and how to box jumps and they all seem to squat a lot deeper then I do and I think that might be the reason why I am not able to bring my knees higher in my sprint and therefore my hip extension at a deep range at an explosive capacity maybe weak because I am not properly jumping, will plan on practicing jumping at home where I squat down with proper depth in squat and hip extension.

not sure. two completely different movements. i like your style of box jump better in regards to sprinting/jumping. it's more on the reactive/explosive side of the equation imho. deep preloading is fine but i like the quicker/shorter bursts.

deep box jumping technique would probably link more to the initial portion of the drive phase, than top speed. sounds like you're talking about knee drive during top speed tho?

as for getting knees up during top speed, to me that's addressed more so through drills and specific mobility exercises - like hurdle mobility etc. even a few millimeters of ROM improvement at the same turnover etc would potentially yield some big results, so it's not like one needs to make drastic mobility improvements.

good stuff!

rest

injured area felt great all day. that stretch i did last night hit it really good. think it helped alot.

incredible come back by SERENA in this second set, down 5-1 to evening it up 5-5.

6-5 Andreescu now.

COME ON SERENA. GET THIS SET.

retail story:

boss ordered me a grill (house warming gift). pretty cool.

start putting together the grill: broken part.

go to home depot, get a replacement.

get home. putting it together, another broken part.

go to home depot: they tell me i have to send it to Weber.....

im like fuck that, i just want to return it. so, I return it and get a $500 store credit (god damn!!)..

so then, i find that grill is actually the best one in that size, it's stainless steel... and they dont carry that one in stores. so, I decide to just re-order that one, and have them assemble it for me.

they ring it up online, $138.................. WTF? The $500 grill, i got it for $138........ seems like a mistake. I told them multiple times, this can't be right.. and they were like "same product, we don't know why it's that much cheaper but you just saved alot of money"

so now i have like 350+ on this gift card

boss said to just buy whatever with it. he couldnt believe it. sounds like a mistake in their system.

no way that grill is $138.. the one in store, cast iron (less quality), is $450. everywhere online this model is $499.

so after 4-5 frustrating hours with this grill.. it might have worked out. hah.

 

OMG FOOTBALL IS HERE.
