damn, nasty 360 windmill by this dude who didn't land one in the first round. (Keldon Johnson)

that was nice.

nico christie is judging in the McDonalds 2018 dunk contest........ HAHA!!

this is a pretty bad contest.. but Zion is in it.

plus a girl landed a hard dunk.

it's interesting how women dunkers don't do self lobs.....................



when zion went to do his first dunk, EVERYONE stood up.. no one stayed seated. pretty awesome sight.

man he's a monster.

signed up for another race.. 10k on 04/08/2018. Don't really "care" about it. Signed up because of this thread tho:



haha.

I'm not going to go nuts with it, because of the mile race 2 days later.. But I just couldn't NOT sign up after that exchange.

you gonna join the team?

nah probably not. who knows tho.

I don't like the idea of tying myself down to one team. I don't respond well to stuff like that. So I need to be careful committing to people/teams, instead of just being a lone wolf competitor - which I feel more comfortable with. Just typing that out, the idea of being on a team stresses me out a bit. The idea of being a lone wolf competitor, makes me feel great. Just how i'm wired I guess.

Def agree with benefits of a lone competitor.

 

ya.. i like training with lots of different groups, making running friends etc .. but i also like competing as "myself". who knows but, that's how I feel now and have felt for many years.

Workout

Run -- 4.17mi in 35:46

Notes

~8.30 miles are getting easy, even on legs that still feel super fatigued. Exciting.

nice!!!!

Had to call this one short as my blisters were fucking painful, ow. Guess I should take tmrw off to give them more recovery space, idk. They're fucking sore though.

Just wanna run without dealing with BS 

damn that sucks.

blisters & such are a real pain in the ass .. I just keep running through them until they are numb/adapt etc. I have several very wrecked toenails, shit sucks. But for the most part they feel fine, rarely painful anymore.

Seems like most people just "sand them down" over time.

i downvoted! but in all seriousness, fu*k FSU. go canes! :d

i'm so glad duke lost though.. i'll root for them next year once Grayson is no longer in the picture. I'm anti-duke as long as he's involved.

This final 4 is sick! I wish it could end up Loyola CHI vs MICH in the finals tho.. :/ Would love to see them both unseat a #1 to face each other.

Reason for bump: added more races (general dates) AND a 2019 section.

Most notably: I want to win back2back half marathons. Today they had the Sunrise Half Marathon which had a ton of fast people in it. My time yesterday would have gotten me 4th. By 2019, I need to be able to drop sub1:18 for both halfs, at least, to be in the running for the top spot in each. I think that would be a powerful test of fitness/work capacity. It might also be something that's never been done before (around here). I'll actually announce it to the local run group like 3 months out from those races, just in case anyone wants to try and do both with (against) me.

I like thinking about these things so far away because, it really helps me make sure my training is covering all bases, looking for improvement at all distances, not neglecting anything until it's "close to the race". I'm trying to build elite fitness. This is something an elite runner could do. It also reminds me that even though I have big goals, I need to stay healthy.. I have alot of stuff to do.
