Game 1, Thursday @ 9 PM ET. Can't wait.

Kinda think I want to get a pizza to celebrate game 1.

GO RAPS!

slept on my side last night (with a pillow between my legs): i feel like it really helped my back/hip today. which is interesting because i distinctly remember in feb, saying i slept on my side and that might have helped to hurt my back. makes sense tho.. been trying to improve the mobility in my hips/back for a while now etc and fix myself.

calves sore today. bball dribbling wrecked em`.

rest day.

plan to do some light hills tomorrow, hopefully.

- felt good
- 156 lb.

11:30 AM: bw
- strong!
- 3sec paused full ng pullups: BW x 8
- full dips: BW x 10
- full hypers: BW x 40 (glutes/back a bit tired)

Run 22km

Lots of wind, lots of elevation so tough going. Avg around 6min/km pace the entire way round

Really fun, but painful though. These runs really motivate me to do an ultra some day. I didn't drink the entire run, think I need to get a hydration pack or something cos much longer than this in any kind of heat (today was cool) and I'd definitely want so fluid on board, was pretty dry by the end.

nice! not thinking + running = the best feeling. To me, it feels like squeezing out a sponge full of poison.

i never hydrate during. i got used to it. when i did my ultra i went 4.5 hours without any fluids/nutrition lmfao. last 1.5 hours though I drank tons, but more as a precaution.

it's probably smarter to bring fluids but, i personally don't like to feel dependent on it. To me, that water loss without replenishment until the end feels pretty natural. If you're not within fairly short walking distance of water tho, probably makes sense to bring something.

Got some new running shoes, wanted something more suited for trail (the saucony kinvara 9 is Great for parks, treadmill, pavement etc) but wanted something to handle rougher terrain.

Went for inov8 trail talon 235s. Same 4mm drop, a little less cushioning. My feet hurt more, I'm sure I'll get used to it tho. They're are sure fun to run in.

nice!

yea, traditional running shoes suck for trail. usually it's because they are too wide.

it's a completely different experience when i run on grass/dirt/rocks in my Saucony Shay XC4 shoes, versus my favorite road shoes. I can't run offroad in my Saucony Endorphin Racer v2's *at all*. It's torture. My Shay XC4's are 1.x oz lighter than my Endorphin's too.. but it's just that my Shay XC4's are narrower allowing me to cut right through those offroad surfaces, instead of feeling like i'm running in scuba fins.

pc!

that dunk .. look how far he takes off from .. two leg, with giannis between the rim. ok this guy is on another level ...

yea that was nasty & yea Kawhi is on another level.

Kawhi tried to REALLY bang it on Giannis a few minutes later.. Giannis blocked the fu*k out of him. hah. Had MIL won, that would be the play we remember.

RIP MIL.

Kawhi is one of the few elites currently playing. People need to chill saying he's better than LEBRON tho.. 

I really love watching Kawhi play. He reminds me of Federer.. Just always calm, composed, laser focused, surgical precision, and absolutely lethal. Great on both ends of the floor.

did like two hours of (right) hip/back/tfl/glute stretching tonight.. but, it's literally just "lying on my side" while watching the MIL/TOR game. that's crazy.

i need to do some "sleep stretching", ie fetal position sleeping.

unreal that there's so much tightness just lying in that position.

MIL with a great finish to the 1st quarter.

way too many turnovers but ended up 31-18.

nervous.. GO BUCKS.

It's fucking hot (to me) -- like 24C (75F). Not used to this, lol.

funny how that works. 75 F is a dream to me.

it's been 90 F+ heat index here the last month or so. going to be very hot the next 6 months. tbh I enjoy it. it's hard to go fast but I love feeling scorched.
