also, an advance warning: if you do end up getting shoes, BACK OFF THE WEIGHT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND BUILD UP SLOWLY. even if you don't feel it acutely, the shoes change the movement and your body needs time to adjust. i fucked up my hip when i switched years ago because i got so excited about the increased stability*, and i know at least one other guy who did the same thing (after i gave him this same warning and he didn't listen, lol).
*in fairness, i'm super prone to nagging injuries and always have been.

MENTAL STATE: meh
- warm up

-- DB swing 70 x 8
-- paused SVJ x 3
- squat 295 x 3,2,1,2,3
surprisingly strong and fast.

CNS still feeling dead, motivation kind of low but not as bad as last night.

ETA: forgot i played tennis on sunday. don't think it had anything to do with why i was so dead last night, though.
anyway, sunday:
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: good
- tennis x ~75 mins
rusty but not catastrophically so. got up a good sweat, was huffing a bit on some long rallies. my dad may not be too quick anymore (makes sense at 64) but he can yank me around the court if he gets into a rhythm.
- stretch
then 6/1:
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: right forearm
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: dead
- warm up
- ME DLRVJ
lol no. this was not happening today. could barely touch the rim off SVJ, legs felt like lead, so tired.
- depth jumps @18" x 4,4
glacial
- rudiment hops
fuck it. terrible workout. i slept badly last night but that's not enough to explain the shittiness. oh well. better luck tomorrow.

Finally got my shit together and just submitted my first application for an overseas job. This one happens to be in Jakarta. I'm not super well-qualified on paper (although I do think I'd do well if I got it, and it's a cool-sounding job) so I don't have my hopes too high but it's good to just get the ball rolling on something that I've been dreaming about and talking about since I was a teenager. That wanderlust and need to work abroad before I settle down is what drove a wedge between my now-ex and I. She is firmly planted and I just can't be yet. Anyway, we'll see what happens.
