I took the weekend off from any training since I was feeling a strain in my plant leg. I did a few pop ups today and felt better. I hope to jump tomorrow and try some higher jumps above the normal 5′ I have been practicing at. Also, here is some video of Dan who is the jumps coach for the Westside Track Cub. It is not the high jump but we won’t hold that against him. Looking pretty good Dan! Click the link to watch the 2.4 MB QuickTime video. Dan LJ Video 1

Here is my first video post from jumping yesterday. I have a problem with dragging my foot on my last step. This video illustrates the problem first in normal speed then in slow motion. If you have any ideas on why I am doing this let me know? Click the link to launch the 2 MB QuickTime video. HJ Video 1

Even after a hard weekend of basketball I had a good jumping workout tonight. I did a few pop ups at 1.53m then did a full approch at 1.57m and 1.63m. I did one last jump at 1.68m. That is only .20m under my jump at the Minnesota championships of 1.70 and my best Masters jump. If I manage my jumps right in the coming meets I think my goal before the end of the season of 1.78 is reachable.
