Felt much better today. I hit a 9 step triple jump pb (13.10m) and didn't really have any pain while jumping. I am going to take the next two days completely off, I am even going to force myself to stay out of the Dalplex so I don't get tempted. The only thing slightly perturbing about today was I jumped farther off 9 steps than 11 but I think it was just fatigue

Felt absolutely awful today, I tried to do one accel and it was 4.20s which is about 0.3s slower than usual. I took my spike off and went back home. I feel like I need to get on a more disciplined sleep schedule--since I usually don't work until later in the day I've gotten into the bad habit of staying up late.

Today was exactly one month before I move to Korea. With one more meet in Canada it would be nice to hit a solid pb. I still feel pretty shitty so I'm pretty much resting until the meet. I am going to do a few jumps on Sunday as well as some flys next Wednesday to test. My knees were too sore to actually do anything on the track so I went for a swim instead.

Felt a little better than yesterday but I still didn't feel great. My knee was really sore and I couldn't do any jumping and even sprinting was painful. Times were really slow today, I think mostly from how much pain I as in. My stride was pretty bad.

I felt awful today. I started to jog a couple laps and my knee was so sore that I gave up. I am feeling generally run down, probably from not really taking a rest after jumping last weekend. My body is definitely telling me something right now. I went home early and rested.

Okay day. I am feeling kind of sore and sleep deprived so  didn't get as much out of today's session that I wanted to but next week is the last technical session of the season.

Off day, ankle is really sore from yesterday and I felt overly draines. The usual

Monday, July 14, 2014
Today went pretty well, it was my first time jumping over 14.00m since I injured my knee a couple of years ago. My right ankle (Step-jump ankle) was really sore from jumping two weeks ago. I have a heel bruise, and there is a lot of swelling on the medial side from spraining it. The ankle was definitely my limiting factor today. My first jump was 13.86m fault and I ended up limping out of the pit. I taped it for the second jump, which was 14.01m, which oddly didn't hurt--maybe because of the tape. My third one really hurt and I didn't even really finish the jump. It was 13.68m. I passed the next one and tried to take my fifth jump. I had a great hop-step, probably the farthest of any of the jumps, but I couldn't plant on my ankle, I knew it would hurt so I bailed it.
   I'm hoping that after ten days of training, then a ten day taper I will be able to move up again to pb territory. It will be the last meet of the season. If my ankle is healthy I know I can do it! Good news is that I haven't had any knee pain in quite some time. 
Long jumped today... Went about usual. I faulted one that was a lot bigger than the others but overall I'm not much of a long jumper and I am out of practice. I really just wanted something to help loosen me up for tomorrow. Best jump was 6.17m+0.8m/s wind. I might add a few short long jump sessions to the end of my tech sessions to try to jump over 6.50m at Atlantics.


Just a light stimulus to get ready for the meet tomorrow. I am competing on two straight days so I don't want to tire myself out.
