weekend was awesome. spent tons of quality time with friends, ate extremely well, watched michigan win a nail-biter from the student section, lost my voice from all the shouting, drank a bunch. good times. i was very active this weekend at low intensity levels, lots of standing, walking, bowling, playing catch, etc. no workout but i did stretch and foam roll at my friend's house and i played pretty intense 1-on-1 with my best friend yesterday morning for 45 minutes. we're very evenly matched -- he has much better ball skills (low bar) but i'm stronger and a better shooter. some good jumping, although when i tried DLRVJ after the game it was bad news. knees not having it. that usually means i'm tired and dehydrated, i think.
also, i fucked the fuck out of my right big toe. like bad. i think it started with the bowling. felt okay during bball yesterday but afterwards it was painful enough that i was limping for a while and then had to focus hard to not limp later. ibuprofen and several rounds of ice yesterday helped and it's better this morning but i got a shooting pain during a meeting and it's still sensitive. i will squat tonight but not jump even if i feel good, no sense in aggravating it. holiday season is approaching, going to be harder to be consistent in the gym. must maintain focus.
gym closes in two weeks. i think for the time being i will stay with my gym but shift to the 14th street location and just do CMJ, jump squats depth jumps and short-distance or stationary MR stuff. i called the church today to see about using the court even after my gym moves out. they guy i spoke to didn't know who's in charge of it but he's going to call me back. fingers crossed. if that doesn't work and i can't stand not doing DLRVJ every workout, i'll suck it up and pay the $146 for sports clubs LA as soon as they have another no-joining-fee deal.
