Comments: No walk/run today. Minor foot surgery day. :P Dreamed last night I was playing public school competitive basketball again. I was the star player, making passes, making shots, making assists, opening up the defense, playing defense, loving playing for the first time since elementary school. I didn't know the plays, I just went by instinct. I felt nervous not knowing the playbook, but since everything was going well no one challenged me on it. I remember Ryan Homann and Eric Brandis as teammates. The game stopped at the third quarter for a half-time-like intermission. My old coach Mr. Slavik was lecturing us, telling us the reason we were winning was because we were doing to them what they had been doing to us in the past. I remember feeling nervous at the break, both at Mr. Slavik's authoritarianism, and because I wanted to keep going, finish the game before I lost focus and the initiative. That's when the dream ended. My exercise and fitness perhaps has reactivated memories of a time in my life when I was in the same condition. Or perhaps applying my current interruptions in marathon training?
