Basketball

Why am I getting up at 4:30 in the morning? So annoying! So I stayed up to play basketball. So dehydrated. My angle fell pretty good despite my fall yesterday.

I don't know what to do about my defense. It's pretty awful and I don't think it's going to change. 

Basketball

Woke up at 4 am for no reason at all. Tried to go back to sleep; couldn't. Finally went to play basketball at 6. What a shit show. I was passing all over the place. Couldn't shoot to save my life. Just an awful way to start my day. I want to take a nap now. 

HEY! I'm back.. (said to no one)

This morning I went to play Basketball. YES! Still doing that whole thing. I've been running too and it's been so good. I've been running my fastest times ever and it's all due to 1) technique 2) consistency and 3) probably my shoes. (New Balance Fuel Cell Rebels).

It's getting cold so I need to adjust to that again. Looking forward to tomorrow when I can put on the shoes and ROLL!

Anyway today Bball was decent. I was effective inside for once and of course ran with the joy of a dog that just took a massive dump.

Morning Basketball

Finally got up to play ball today. It wasn't a bad effort. Made a couple lay-ups, had a few decent passes. I'll take it after 9 weeks off. 

Morning Basketball

Got up to play today and it was ok. Jammed my finger really bad. I've never had to wrap my finger before but it's wrapped up now and it's pretty painful. I just hope that I can play guitar this coming Sunday for my gig. 

Morning Basketball.

Haven't worked out in a really long time and it sure showed today. So brutal. You have to start somewhere though.

Captain No-Shot here at your service. I had some moves around the hoop but I couldn't get anything else to go in.  Always glad I go though. 

Morning Basketball

I have no idea why I play. Seriously. I wore my goggles. No difference in my shot. I have zero body control right now. I need to research this and see if a 43 yr old can regain a little bit of that. 

Morning Basketball

Ugh my shot was just awful. I started the day hitting the 3 to get my team the ball and that was pretty much the highlight of the day. 

I think I'll bring my goggles next time so I can see the rim a bit more clearly. 

Morning Basketball

Nothing exciting. I played without my goggles and it made absolutely no difference. I made the same percentage of shots and dribbled with the same awful results. It's gross to watch myself play bball from my perspective. 

Morning Basketball

What an awful start. I ended up getting it together a little bit. I did try to wear my old glasses instead of my goggles. Got sick of them, tore them off and threw over to the side. And then I forgot them there and I don't think I'm going to try to find them. 

Morning basketball

My ankle was a bit of a factor. Also I felt really out of shape. I haven't been running or sprinting. So I need to get back on it as soon as this ankle gets back to a place where I can.

Morning Basketball

Good morning. I had a half a cup of coffee before I left. It might've helped a bit. I'm not sure. Had some OK shots, and a couple decent passes. Missed another freakin' lay-up or two. Such an idiot. 

Morning Basketball

Started off strong but then kind of died out at the end of the morning. Frustrating mostly. 

Morning Basketball

Had some great success for the first 45 minutes lol. Then I took a turn to sit out. Came back in and couldn't make anything happen for the rest of the time. See ya Thursday.. 

Morning Basketball

First time I've gone in about 2.5 weeks. It felt awful getting up at 5:25 but I'm glad I did. I had a pretty great morning considering. Body control was there so I was effective around the rim and my shot hasn't left me completely. 

Morning Basketball - SORT OF

I't's been a while since I journaled, but the workouts have continued even though yesterday I wasn't really feeling it at all so my back and bicep day was a bust.

So Tuesday morning at basketball I pulled something. Maybe it's a hamstring, I'm not sure. Either way I kept going just because it wasn't that bad. Later that afternoon I tried to sprint after the frisbee and that didn't go well AT ALL. I iced it and went on.

So this morning I debated as to whether or not to go play and I knew I shouldn't have gone. About 40 minutes in I popped it again. I immediately got off the court and brought a cold pack to work. Not happy about it seeing as how Sunday afternoon Ultimate will be here soon. The weather looks stormy so maybe I won't miss anything but still... I hate missing cardio opportunities. 

Morning Basketball

Glad I got up to play today. my shot percentage was nice and high. :) We played 3 on 3 at the end and that wasn't my best 10 minutes but I had fun either way. 

Morning Basketball

A good morning for the most part. I feel really good about how I'm running up and down the court. Had the last shot of the day today as well. Boom!

Basketball/Rec Center

Morning Basketball. Drove by early and no one was there, went and got my disc golf stuff and then drove back by and there was some people there so I ended up playing some relaxed 4 on 3.


Took Rainn Swimming and did a back and biceps workout with legs mixed in. It was a good workout. Left bicep felt really great.
