bad luck to get sick right after starting the new gig. if it makes you feel any better, my brother has MRSA in his ankle and my friend had a case of strep so bad last week that when he went to the doctor, the doctor went and got all the medical staff together to look at his throat. it literally bled. and he had a 104-degree fever.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee a tiny bit, tweaked anterior right ankle but it's okay now
MENTAL STATE: good

- DL bound x 4,4,4
improved each set
- DL bound up stairs x 8,8,8
- submax SL bounds x a few sets
just awful, this is where i tweaked right ankle a little

went to the track with my mom, had her do a modified version of this including running some stairs.

am again treading water. need new plan. not having a clear move date is a pain in the ass because it's hard to plan backward from something. i have been doing a kind of t0ddday-peaking-block-lite for months now and while i'm still jumping pretty well from time to time i don't really feel like i'm progressing on anything.
any ideas?

judo is so intense. watching the 56kg men and 66kg women this morning, makes me want to try it.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none, not even left hip
MENTAL STATE: a little weird, too hungry
- warm up
- skater jump x 20
- one-step RVJ x 5
- DLRVJ x 10
hit 7/10 dodgeball dunks, very relaxed
- paused squat 265 x 5
harder than it should have been but no pain
- DB push press 45s x 10
- pull up x 10
- hanging leg raise x 5
went easy on myself today, first workout after a few days off. strong focus on form and relaxation. i think i'm gonna play tennis again in a bit. feeling glad to have taken those days off, intentional or not.
EDIT: later
- tennis x 45 mins
hot, called it at 5-0 because i was getting a headache. need to remember a hat. put a bag of frozen peas on the back of my neck, let's see if it helps.

This is a cool series of animated infographics by the NYT on what separates some of of the top US athletes: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/08/05/sports/olympics-triple-jumper-christian-taylor.html?module=Article®ion=footer&action=Click&pgtype=Multimedia

i was watching michigan's first game of the year, against hawaii. first possession, michigan gets down to the hawaii six, knocking on the door. people are going nuts. then they snap the ball and run away from the endzone and out of bounds! no touchdown. then, on the next possession, they line up in a bonkers formation and run around kind of aimlessly, lateraling the ball until someone gets tackled.
fans very frustrated and confused, but i remember saying to myself, they just feel bad for hawaii and want to spot them a couple of possessions.

one thing and another and this week has just been exercise-free since tuesday's aborted workout. for the first time in a long time, i don't feel bad about missing a few days. back doesn't hurt, knees don't hurt. will rest today, too -- going to a baseball game straight from work -- but back on the horse tomorrow morning.

not sure how it is in NY but in maryland you don't get unemployment if you're fired. only if laid off.

i marvel at kf's durability on days like today.
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: right forearm (tennis)
ACHES/INJURIES: low back
MENTAL STATE: kind of tired, which is odd because i've gotten plenty of sleep the last few nights
- warm up
- paused speed squat
275 felt unstable and very heavy. low back worrisome. caution.
- partial daily routine
more rest, no interest in letting this nagging back tightness become an injury.
