Basketball

Wasn't the best night of basketball. I have two goals each game, score 10 points and overall feel like I played well, not many turnovers and giving effort. Well I scored way above 10 points but I was sluggish. I didn't feel sluggish or tired while playing but I wasn't moving as well as I would have liked. Mainly on defense it just felt like it took an eternity to shift from one player to another and on offense all my shots felt short. I'm wondering if I need rest or from really digging into my quads and stuff to release the pain that's been happening. I'm not sure. I wasn't in any pain playing which was good. I'm also wondering if it's from jumping rope the day before wore out my legs a bit. I've been alternating HIIT and jump rope, last week I jumped on Monday, HIIT on Tuesday, this week I switched which could be an issue since the jump rope is a bit more high impact than the HIIT I do. So I'll go back to the opposite next week and see.

I was thinking of taking Thursday off from the gym for an extra rest day since I workout 6 days a week but I decided I'll go on Thursday and since we may get clobbered with snow this weekend that I may not be able to get to the gym. Figured I didn't want to skip Thursday and then be forced to skip all weekend too.
