Evening

Basketball for about 1 hour 40 minutes. This was continuous full court, probably about 5 games with no rest. Of course this happens to be the week before a closed gym so that fitness goes right out the door.

Workout comments: I spent some time after basketball rolling around the taped double lacrosse balls on my upper back muscles. It was amazing to feel the tension just release after about 10 minutes. If you can make it through the first 2-3 minutes of intense pain, it soon leads to nirvana. I would recommend something like this every night. A few more minutes working out the kinks in my calves using the foam roller and I was off to bed.
