bit quick but that's okay.

went to doc today about my ear pain. she said it's not infected, but that i should use a different kind of ear drops than the ones i've been using to deal with wax buildup. apparently that stuff can irritate. anyway not all that satisfying. i mention it only because they took my blood pressure and it was 110/77, which is the lowest it's ever been since i was at least 19.  :personal-record:

not quite as cold, maybe low 40s. niiiice and slow, slight negative split pace-wise which is not the worst thing in the world.

felt amazing. cold (35/2 celsius) but no wind to speak of, so long sleeve shirt plus my running shell was plenty of warmth. new route, liked it, will repeat.

i missed two runs this week and still totaled 42.2 km, and i feel super ready for a long and slow run tomorrow.

wasn't quite sure where to put this and didn't want to start a new thread. given my current training it seemed relevant enough to put it here:

still feel out of sorts, multi-day headache which is mild now but still there. woke up in the wee hours and couldn't go back to sleep because of severe pain in my right ear (second time in the last week or so). made a doctor's appointment to get that checked out.

did manage to do some pull ups, at least. 8,8,7 wide grip, dead hang.

maybe it'd be better to back off on heavy-duty stretching, if you're hurt and you're just thinking about "getting through most of it"?

half marathon is a whole other level from 15k IME. very doable, especially if you take it easy, just be prepared to be more tired at the end than you expect. go get it.

- run

got to the end of the block and my body was just yelling "NOOOO," so i turned around and came home. had a headache all day and thought it had gone down enough to run but apparently not.

SNOW IS STARTING TO ACCUMULATE. i am surprised by how excited this makes me. i've been living in places that don't get snow for the last four years, guess i missed it more than i knew.

edit: yeah it is absolutely nasty outside. no run.

edit 2: got full comments on my dissertation today from my adviser. won't even have to ask him about publishing it, he suggested it himself and gave some thoughts about how to change it to be publishable. sweet.

chilly, in the 30s (~5 celsius). legs a little heavy going out the door but once i settled in this felt great. i like the route i did, too, combining two other ones into a nicer loop.

we're supposed to get 2+ inches of snow and ice tomorrow so let's see what conditions are like in the morning. snow could be fun, to a point, but i ain't running on ice.

re: RDLs taxing upper body, maybe kroc rows? you've got those high-angle BB rows in there but might not hurt to throw in kroc rows at the end of a workout like that. i used to love doing them.

Isn't that basically just a single arm bench supported row?

I think Pendlay rows might work better, but I'm worried about adding more lower back stress, as that area recovers so slow.
Although big deadlifters have big numbers on rows as well.

sorry for delayed response. it's a single arm bench supported row but the idea is to go heavy and high-rep, using english if needed to complete the ROM. here's a demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=664VPfta8bA

no need to apologize! i think this is spot on, as well: "I'm sure people who have thrown everything at a single goal and sacrificed other aspects of their life have regrets too." life is full of trade-offs.

yeah that's the stuff, 5:52 average pace. did this in the dark and used my new headlamp for the first time. on the plus side, it's comfortable, didn't budge or bounce around at all, and lights up the ground enough that i can see where i'm going even in proper darkness. on the minus side, places where it's properly dark have lots of wildlife and frankly it freaks me out to look to the side and see deer like six feet away. they're probably harmless but still i don't trust the fuckers.
