KYRIE. MASK OFF.

damn celtics won wtf!

home teams' been making some insane comebacks this year..... many 20+ point comebacks, lots of 17 point..... those are really hard to comeback from..... just tonight 5/10 games the teams losing by 15+ cameback and won..... some were like 20ish lol

-btw i am so sick of these 2 pt 1-9 4 turnover games by lonzo ball.... so unfair for those that are much better and ready but not even close the opportunity.....

To be fair to Lonzo, he could have some sport psychology issues going on at the moment, I mean he could be destroying it in practice for all we know, lighting it up .. Luke might know more than we do. But ya, seems like he should be coming off the bench.

This is turning out to be a good teaching moment.. As a family member, don't add extra pressure to your kids to perform, especially at the highest level.. Might work in AAU, H.S., and even college somewhat.. but pro? Opponents going to be looking, with a little extra, to crush your soul.

i'm a heat fan first and foremost, been loving watching the games I catch .. always close games (fortunately & unfortunately) .. they have a fun squad to watch, and can really battle. Record doesn't depict it yet, but to me they are looking like a 7/8 playoff team this year.

ben is special.... i dont care what anyone says..... he's the total package.... he's more special than MJ..... the basketball world has never seen anything like him imo.....

lost me at "more special than MJ".. lulz.

:uhhhfacepalm:

should be customary to never utter such a thing, until way down the line, when someone is mostly responsible for 3 titles etc.. :D

FDL you crack me up sometimes, you can write 1000 words and i'll be cool with 980 of them, but then you figure out how to trigger me... :highfive:

seriously, loving watching Simmons.. but also, MJ is still the most ruthless, clutch, losing not an option, perpetually improving player I have ever seen. I've never seen anyone come close to his level, not even Kobe ... and Kobe is one of the greatest ever.

One key difference between Kobe & Lebron, is how they handle losing. Lebron can handle losing a regular season game pretty well .... not several in a row etc, but just one? sure.. MJ can't handle a single loss, same with Kobe..

MJ is so damn incredible, that he literally got bored of winning championships and tried to become a professional baseball player, that didn't work out, came back and won more championships.

YALL MUSSA FORGOT.

peace

Stomach feels a bit meh, body feels great.. the usual. Also it'sl ike 62F right now, freezing for me, good running weather.

Also, I ate 3 x grapefruit instead of 1.. :ninja: I'm just such a grapefruit fiend.. and if my stomach is going to feel meh, i'm going to enjoy me some more grapefruit pre-race. It'll probably end up helping me. I usually do 1 grapefruit, which is probably some immediate energy for 1 mile, this time I did 3, maybe 3 miles? even if it's not true, it's great to lie to yourself.

Race time :ibrunning:

yezzz!!! would be nice to get first.. it's basically being held in 50% of my stomping grounds. 50% = coral springs, 50% = tamarac. Tamarac is next week :D Closest I got on that was 7th last year, 30+ the year before. Top 3 maybe? Only way it's a possibility is if i'm able to drop something solid tomorrow.. 8) :ninja:

:ibrunning:

Should be really good weather tomorrow for the race, ~65F (18.3C?) which might be the "coldest" race of recent. If so, and all goes well, should be able to run pretty fast. It's a fast course so, no problems there.

I need to start pushing myself a bit harder, kinda like I did last year. Some similar race results to last year, but the effort is way different. Last year i'd try and hang the first mile, then be completely dead, and try to push it to the finish. This year i'm hitting comfortably fast 1-2 miles, then coasting the rest. Just been avoiding that "deathly effort", which tbh i'm not a huge fan of in my current phase of training. But, some big races coming up, so need to turn it up a notch.

I'd love for my calves to loosen up by tomorrow though.. they've been tight all day and recently have gotten more sore, DOMS'ish.

lame.

Before very important races (which this one isn't), I need to learn how to tone it down more and come into the race completely fresh, not an ache/sore muscle in sight. Since these recent races have been less important, I haven't worried about that as much. Still, i've been giving myself more rest by preceding races by two rest/light days instead of 1.. so definitely improving in that respect. Before important races I might need to shut it down like 4 days prior.. Need to experiment more with that.

I'd like to figure out how to 1) supercompensate to the max AND 2) feel completely fresh (no aches/soreness/tightness at all) the previous day & race day. I've felt decent on most of my race days, but the day before always seems to make me worried about being too wrecked.

I'll try a 4 day rest before my 12/17/2017 5k .. which will be easy to do because I have a mile race on 12/12/2017.

Maybe i'll do something like:

12/13/2017: evening 1 mile race
12/14/2017: complete rest
12/15/2017: double very light
12/16/2017: complete rest
12/17/2017: 5k race
12/18/2017: DELOAD UNTIL 01/01/2018.

runninelvis How we do Fartlek speed sessions in Kenya. This day was 2mins fast 1min moderate recovery ×25 if it was easy everyone would do it. Gotta love this sport to get through the hard days & days where I just feel shit..

Quote
runninelvis @jakehurysz yes and also race prep phase. Speed endurance is a key we never loose here in Kenya. The altitude is high so its important to keep some type of speed goin even in base phase.

Basketball / Re: Mark my words.....Ben Simmons
« on: November 17, 2017, 09:48:12 am »
One thing to note is that he got ruled out of his real rookie year early with a foot fracture and spent a whole year with all the benefits of an NBA team, training, getting fed right etc. So even though he hadn't played a game before this season, he's more NBA-ready than most rookies. Similar thing happened with Blake Griffin and Embiid.

But yeah, he's a hell of a player - I didn't think he was this athletic. Great passer as well. Technically Australian, so our 2020 Olympic team looks good:

PG: Simmons
SG: Mills
SF: Ingles (possibly a bit old by 2020 but has an old man's game)
PF: Maker
C: Baynes

All starting or solid rotational players in the NBA. Dellavedova and Exum on the bench as well.

that's a serious lineup.. Maker will be very legit by 2020.
