quick recap.
hectic week of nothing in particular.
right hamstring/IT band/hip flexor/hip is feeling great. keep telling yourself that and visualize reconstruction.
thursday went for the bike ride, about 1 1/2 hours total. was really pretty awesome. hard, but awesome.
friday, hmmmmmm. i am trying to remember. i think i probably did something, but i am not sure. it might come to me, but i might have also rested.
saturday was a good bike ride. the pine street to sac, up to amherst college loop. i think just under 13 miles.
sunday, up early to head to boston for practice and then showcase. exhaustion!! it was hot, we were all tired and didn't have great numbers. probably my roughest practice of the year in terms of energy.
monday was gym. phase 2, second week workout a. went well. feeling stronger.

boston celtics
well, they did it. f-in sweet.
tuesday was an off day
wednesday was summer league. got a little bit of running in, but not much. rode my bike, which was nice.
i am now faced with a tough decision.
do i go for a bike ride, mtb fixed gear ride.
or
do i go down to the track and do a workout. my hamstring is feeling a little bit better, as is my IT band, but i don't want to aggravate it.
i think it is going to be a bike ride.

thursday hung out with a friend and then went climbing.
got 5 climbs in, nothing too difficult but was fun.
friday was gym
1 mile warmup on treadmill
active warmup
phase 2; week 1 workout a
felt good and my legs feel strong.
my IT band is still killing me and a tendon on the right side of my right knee is pretty sore as well. i am going to continue to lift with it and keep the running a little bit to a minimum.

exhausted after saturday. hot and not a lot of subs, but some good running and some good throws. one throw i would have liked to have back, but that's it.
played decent defense and was very active on the turn as a cutter and behind the disc.
should have had two layout d's. damn. remember to jump forward when bidding. really launch and i think i will start to get some of these d's.
today, gym.
head up, with fire.

hate me today
been a week since last update.
last wednesday i didn't end up doing anything that i can remember. thursday i believe was on off day, as was friday.
saturday drove out to caz and played in 3 pretty easy games. played bodhi, pike, and pony. i thought i played well, did well on offense and played solid d. nothing spectacular.
my knee/IT band is feeling a little bit better, but still is pretty annoying. going to run the track workout today, hopefully it won't bug me too much.
hit the gym yesterday
vert routine week 4 workout b (onto new stuff friday)
overhead db incline
3x8 @ 45
lat pulldown
3x8 @ 130
benchpress
1x10 @ 95
1x10 @ 115
1x3 @ 135
1x5 @ 195
ab bench
3x10 rocky style
1x30 crunches
1x20 ab man taco
3x17 ab crunch machine
2x12 each side on machine
2x15 roman chair
finished up my fixed gear mtb. pretty sick and fun to ride.
also, possibility of being cut on friday morning. bigwigs have a meeting on thursday night and they are sending out emails friday morning to those guys that aren't going to be on the team. little bit nervous.
not really very motivated right now, but that is a state of mind. fake it 'til you make it. not just for you players, it's for you too.
work.

i saw the sign
yesterday hopped on my bike and rode to the 'canes end of the year team dinner. probably about an 8-10 mile ride over and then the same back. pushed pretty hard in places and felt good. really glad i choose to ride my bike and stuck with it.
full stretch at home and that felt good too. i took my insoles out of my pre's and my knee/hip/IT band is starting to feel better. weird about the insoles. hmmm.
anyway, today i am not sure what my schedule will be. i will think about it during the day and then write about it later.
get yourself in the right mindset to be a leader and a rock. wherever you go, you will lead. you must choose to be yourself and be great at it.

must stretch more
friday was as planned with disc golf, but no stretching. prettty frustrating round of golf, next time will hopefully be a little less looking for discs in the woods and more playing.
saturday was practice with bodhi. didn't feel really great (still recovering from night before) but was good to get out and move around.
sunday practice again and felt better.
monday was vert week 3 workout a.
legs felt stronger and had more zip in them.
also got in 2x30 ab ball crunches
1x20 man tacos
overhead db incline
3x8 @ 45
calf raises
2x14 @ 40
and then a nice surprise of 3 climbs.
stretched a little bit at home.
hoping to get a bike ride in today, over to the team dinner.
sidenote;
my IT band is really sore and has been affecting me for about the past 3 weeks. previously thought to be my hamstring, but after talking with some people it's my IT band. keep icing and stretching and foam roll it out.
be great and expect great
