i'm planning to run a 100 on may 19 and/or june 9 and/or june 30. might try a 200, too, just to beat myself up. i get back to the states and normal training on april 14, which means the may 19 race would be just about a month off, and then ~six and nine weeks to the following two dates.

so, questions, for t0ddday primarily but also anyone else who wants to chime in:

1. is it worth trying to run a 100 race after a month of training, or if i can only do one of the three am i better off giving myself a bit more time to train?
2. what's my best approach, considering that jumping/dunking remains the overwhelming goal and i'm not going to give that up to run 4+ times a week? if i'm jumping indoors 2-3 times per week and the track is a mile away from the gym, should i bother trying to sprint after jumping? just stick to tempo and try to get in some semblance of shape? i'm happy to reduce time in the weight room but not time on the court.

i don't usually show love to michigan state, but...

last night got a thorough stretch in before bed but no other exercise.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: pretty good

- warm up

- SVJ x 3,3,3
really tight and rigid on the first few reps, loosened up my arms some and focused on using the swing and was much better for the last 4-5 reps.

- superset x 2
-- DB BSS 20s x 10
-- DB RDL 26s x 10

- superset x 2
-- DB OHP 16s x 10
-- neutral chin x 10

- ab wheel roll outs x 10,10

gonna stretch now. kind of a wimpy workout but better than nothing. gonna ask around about the national stadium tomorrow - whether it's open to the public on weekends or something - and if not i'm going to kill myself in the gym on saturday.

Hey Andrew I just started learning Python... I was wondering... what's your opinion about it?

I've heard it's a good idea to start with Python as a means to learn programming. What do you think?

It's how I got started as a graduate student and made the switch from math to data analysis.  If you like math/problem solving but hate syntax and programming it's absolutely the best way to go.  Make a account on https://projecteuler.net/ and solve the first 100 problems using python.  Anybody who can do that is capable of quite a lot.

neat. new procrastination technique.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: tired

- slow jog x 1 mile

- warm up mobility stuff

- some DB cleans and presses, some neutral chins, some push ups, nothing notable

- stretch

'twas good to gejufla.

just noticed i now have four-digit respect points. of course because i've pointed this out someone will probably neg me back down into the triple digits.

 

 

Well....realized how exactly out of shape I am. WOW.

My buddy who will be trying out at the USA Select tryouts and I got worked out by a former overseas coach (currently works with the Atlanta Hawks! And played for Flip Saunders O_o ) and man my legs are fried. Lol! Learned a ton   though and it was very eye opening. They're trying to get me to go tryout with my buddy but IDK, im not in competitive game shape. Rec league yea...but with only 4 weeks I'm not sure I could get where I need to be. I'll think about it.

If my legs can recover then I'll hit the weights later.

Awesome day!!!

uh, sweet opportunity, congrats on the invite, get your ass in gear. four weeks is plenty of time to kick your own ass and get in some semblance of shape.
