Notes

Feeling tired but fitness is clearly coming, the ideal I guess. Rep HRs were like 159/165/168, with a max at 173, so that's a good sign. Probably will bump up 5-10 when it gets hot again.

Comments:

Tired from non-stop track+gym. Still, was able to do the squats pretty good, considering they were high bar. Bench was weak, as usual.

that's interesting, i've heard raves about the bostons as well. was considering a pair because they're allegedly closer to a pre-superfoam-style racing flat like my beloved kinvara ~8-13s. what don't you like about them?

evos are great, though. lightweight, responsive without being too squishy, corner pretty well for high-stack shoes (better than novablast).

sore, especially in glutes but also quads a bit. nice recovery pace, HR never went over 136 and averaged 125.

Yeah Boston 12s had rave reviews so I was primed to get them on the cheap when the 13s came out. They just don't quite click for me. The upper/lacing is very weird, and they feel a bit stiff. Much prefer my Zoom 6s for sessions.

Been lifting 2-3 times a week over the last couple weeks. No updates recently due to life being fucking crazy. Between work and family obligations, I haven't had much free time. I've had to lift late at night (which is not ideal for me), but it's better than not lifting at all. Overall my body feels pretty good though, and I Feel like it's probably good to get a little bit of "rest" from things like volleyball before I head into the summer seasons for volleyball and softball.
