slight crank.

legs feeling good. injury area bugging, but strong.

dinner:
- wanted to use my blender again .. so made a smoothie. came out great: 2 x banana, 1 cup milk, some cinnamon, honey, and some almond butter.



stretching throughout the day
- mostly just short intense bent over toe touch stretches, but pulling my head to my knees etc, trying to stretch the fuck out of the injury area.



07:50 PM: walk/run: 1h50m ::: (road, variety of efforts)
- https://www.strava.com/activities/2683647672
- https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/4028473385
- solid session
- felt injury area a bit, but it definitely improves when running .. which is good. because for months, it got worse when running. so possibly a good sign.
- after this session it was bugging me tho .. lacrosse balled it hard as absolute fuck.

- two decent mod/light mile's (6:16 / 6:55).
- best thing was 4:4X pace for 62s tho.
- also 5:22 for 2m:15s, more of a warmup tho.







12:15 AM: intense lacrosse ball
- seated on this counter top, to put max pressure on injured areas
- so painful .. pain went away eventually tho.. so, hit it good.

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!

nice!!! jealous of this park run meetup if it happens. there's some other potential members too. could be a decent sized squad hah. 8|

Shoes / New Balance Fuel Cell 5280
« on: September 05, 2019, 05:18:38 pm »
carbon fiber plate shoe, literally built for one mile.. :wowthatwasnutswtf:

that last part sold me, bought a pair. i hate my vaporfly 4%'s, not necessarily that they are so awkward, but they are also just so bulky. apparently these are very light/minimalist, and very fast. so i figured i'd get a pair for fun. fu*k it.

you can see in the very beginning, as she puts them on, they are not bulky at all:

yeah it was fun. hadn't done that in literally years.

ya i'm enjoying it as well. doing it every weekend now. gives me a nice distraction for a few hours (with yard work etc).

- tennis w/ dad x 45 mins
we were both starting to get the groove back a bit, had some really strong rallies. dad put some good zip on a few forehands and also mishit a bunch; overall big improvement over the past few times we've played.

nice!!

ok so uhh.. i found this recently. actually looks pretty solid. looks perfect for rings. also goes up to 100" or so, which is crazy high for a pullup system (pullups w/ no leg bend!)

^^ has some nice reviews on there.

i dno.. kind of leaning towards getting it.

legs/glutes/hips feeling better.

07:30 PM: pool / pool stretch
- major adductors (deep split stretch)
- right one is crazy tight, has been since before my sacrum/glute/ham got jacked up, but even more so afterwards. it's part of the problem for sure.
- loosening it up lately has been helping it seems.

09:30 PM: 1.5 hour lacrosse ball
- dug in really hard to right piriformis/glute

* strained my left glute a little on the 455 because i ran out of the oly plates and had to use the old hex plates. didn't spin the same way  and bar got a bit out of line on the concentric. had to correct form and got tired. not used to the hex plates anymore. been months since i used them.

damn! makes sense how something like that could throw you off.

how's it doing now? seems good?
