Ballin' and Buyin'

Thursday night I was all over the court.  I led the game in scoring and it wasn't with outside shooting.  I was attacking the basket and taking it to their big men.  I had layup after layup and was getting out on the break.  We won by 3.  I also did something I haven't done in years...I jumped up and hung on the rim with ease.  Dropping the excess pounds has improved my quickness and jumping.  Initially, my legs felt tired from all this training and I felt slower, but I think my body is adjusting and getting used to all the activity because I feel great and so do my legs.  Playoffs next week!  I need to come into the game with the same mentality: be agressive, play uptempo, and really set the tone for the rest of my team and get them involved.  I love the point gaurd role.

Bought 2 new pairs of shoes.  My road shoes are super comfortable, I love 'em.  I ran 3.5 miles on the treadmill yesterday.  They are Asics Nimbus VII.  My trail shoes are also Asics.  The Trabukov model, hopefully I'll get to test them out tomorrow if it isn't raining.

Peace.

Nice work, Richards! A nice reward for all youe work. To it to those bastards!

Good choice on the shoes, too. Looked it up and based on our scientific foot test they are perfect for you. I hit the store a couple of weeks ago as I found out that the pair of New Balances that I was sold in Scottsdale was wrong for me (they had some motion control in it). I had a feelingn that the kid didn't know what he was talking about. Anyway, have a new love in my life now ..... the Saucony Triumph 3. The best damn running shoes I've ever worn. They are truly like butter. I also am using some inserts called Archmolds, which I would recommend with any shoe as they add even more cushioning (bought them online).

I foolishly ran 5 miles the night before our playoff game. I played like shit, slow and not agressive.
My roomate, Eric was the only guy who really came to play.
we lost and thus will not be defending our championship.
