something in my right knee "popped" last night when reaching over my bed weird to pull up the sheet.. afterwards i'm walking around, knee feels brand new. a gift from the dunk gods.

edit: feels great even after sleep + waking up.

it'll probably go back to normal in a few, as i'm about to run.. but if somehow it stays this way, i'll be beyond happy.

WRECKED. every time I start increasing the speed of my running, my body dies, especially my toes & calves. :F

I got some "special running socks" today, hoping they help with the blisters. They are light weight and supposedly "anti friction". I might have to put bandaids on my toes (it's helped way back).. hoping I don't have to do that though.

Finally, I really need to figure out how to wake up in the morning.. Tennis/Running in the AM vs PM is vastly different. My body doesn't feel awake in the morning, and I end up moving/swinging in ways that make no sense. Long ago (hehe), when I dunked, caffeine would wake me up in the morning. Since i'm caffeine free (for probably a year now), I need to figure something else out. For now, i'm thinking of:
- waking up earlier (and sleeping earlier)
- cold shower
- jump rope

Oh also I'm going to be eating more bananas and adding salt to my beverages.

Unfortunately I may not run until after this tennis tournament. I'd love to "feel good" during this tourney.

ya definitely, the only thing that we have to worry about is rain. Comes and goes out of nowhere, all year round. Basketball/Tennis courts dry fast though so, that's cool.

sleep = 8 hours
bw = 171
soreness = none
aches = ankles a little, right hip, lower back
injuries = right ankle slightly (feels a little weird)



Food

- orange juice



Contrast Shower



Session: Morning

Crazy humid this morning.. sweat my brains out, was soaked.

tennis:
- 2 hours
- almost beat my dad in the first set, lost 7-5.. really should have had that set
- was moving very fast on the court, got to every ball.



Food

- lots of fruit
- orange juice
- 2 greek yogurts



Session: Evening

tennis:
- 2 hours
- lefty practice
- serve practice
- tried to stay light with the serves, work more on form.. biggest things that help me with serves are: 1) chest up, 2) committing to continental grip & whipping the racquet .. by committing i mean, not letting my hand slide to a different grip.



Food

- chipotle salad bowl, double chicken
- stacys pita chips
- 2 glasses of chocolate soy milk



Food

- greek yogurt
- 7 bananas



feel a bit wrecked tonight but.. should feel alot better in the morning.

tennis tournament soon! there are only 4 people in it.. hahah! I think i'll get 2 matches at least. I'm going to try my chances at 4.0 level. One of the players in the tournament has beaten my dad a few times. One of the other players my dad has beaten a few times. And the third player is in his first tournament, like myself. Should be interesting.

Hey Andrew,

Noticed you're drinking lots of chocolate soy milk.  I'm sure all the talk of soy milk being bad for you is overblown, but what's your take on them?  Also is there any validity to the phytoestrogen stuff people say 'messes with ur hormones'?

There's so much conflicting info online I just wanna hear what your take on them is

not adarq, but science-based medicine is the first place i look when i have questions like that. https://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/evaluating-milk-and-its-substitutes/

Quote
Soy milk was one of the earliest milk substitutes. Soy comes closest to real milk from a nutritional perspective, and some are fortified with vitamins to closely mimic real milk. Soy contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid too, but if you’re not a vegan, you’d be better off eating other omega-3 sources. The relationship between soy and cancer is unclear.

...

If you enjoy drinking milk, there’s no convincing evidence to suggest you’re doing your body badly. If you’re consuming milk strictly for the perceived health benefits, then it’s fine to omit it from your diet. Milk isn’t magical and it isn’t poison. The same applies to the milk substitutes. If you want a milk-like beverage to drink, then there are lots of choices, and you can probably find one that you find palatable and is also fortified to deliver many of the nutritional benefits of regular milk.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

no idea tbh. i'm trying not to drink a crazy amount of it so, if there is some legitimate issues with it, i'll hopefully avoid it by not going overboard with it.. i've basically done GOMAD before, but just because I loved milk and used it as a goto source. That probably wasn't too healthy.

not sure though really. I like LBSS's post/quote on this.

fwiw, I feel fine drinking soy milk. I've never experienced any kind of noticeable negative effects from drinking it.

pC!
