Woke up and took off from Novato early to play basketball with RN and friends. We actually ran like 5 (?!) games to 15, 5v5. Something like 2h of actual playtime. It was incredible – I played like shit, but it was a great workout and I could see my space to improve. My legs are blown, and I’m going to need a long soak tonight.

Bakar UCSF gym is great for me skill-wise – good mix of abilities, and not too crowded. Honestly, I was the tallest person out there so I should’ve been leaning into the gap and bullying the other team. Instead I tip-toed in the short-midfield.

CEO, CM, and I traveled up to see my parents today – through the fog to rain up 880, passing the enormous Tesla factory, unexplored downtown Oakland, the port cranes which never appear to be operating.

Up in Novato I got a 3.5mi run in. Fairly slow pace at 9:20s / mi, but hey! that’s the first bit of jogging mileage I’ve logged in a couple of months – with basketball tomorrow morning I definitely want to ease into it.

Another tired day – I think it is those heavy bike rides. Gotta push through this day two weariness otherwise I’ll be knocked out by it come Sunday of STP. Soreness wise I’m pleased with how the old bod’ is taking it – no typical ACL tightness. I’ll [mis]attribute credit to ramping up and compulsively bend-over-fold stretching it.

Up here in Morgan Hill we’ve received a right antediluvian 3.6 inches of rain over the last twenty-four hours. Still sprinkling, but conditions are forecast to slack off until Monday when we’re in for a dumping.

It’s raining cats & dogs today, poodles abound. Something like 10inches over the weekend in the Santa Cruz mountains? Honestly, sounds dangerous. Rainfall shouldn’t be as bad on Morgan Hill’s east of the Santa Cruz coastal range, but it is dumping. Uvas Reservoir was already full, so this will again flow right on downstream. keep an eye on the local online flood indicator.

I don’t have a good setup for lifting in the rain. My bench + dumbbells sit outside, so the best I can do is toss a tarp over it and wait for life to dry. What’ll work is to move the bench and weights down to the garage tonight – by tomorrow I can get my chest and tri’s in.

Tired today – ended up laying down for a minute and woke up two hours later during work. Had my phone under my head and made up for missed time in the after-hours, so no harm no foul. Still, surprised.
