not sure why it popped into my head today.

you should get this: 

i love having tattoos but i'm glad i waited so long to start getting them (was 29 when i got my first one). i think i'll go in for my third once covid calms down here. thought about getting it in london but the thing i want to get is super tied to where i grew up so seems more appropriate to get it done here.

What was your first one and what are you planning to get?

first one is on the inside of my left bicep: a representation of the folds in a paper airplane i learned to make in preschool. looks like an origami diagram, but rectangular. it's a reminder to play and be imaginative and open-minded, and to revere good teachers like the guy who taught me that particular way of making airplanes. second one is on my left ankle: five interlocking circles (around one axis, not like the olympic rings), which my brother and parents all got after my youngest brother died a couple years ago. it commemorates him and the fact that our family of five is no longer intact except in ourselves. both pretty simple geometric designs.

the third is going to be a cross-section of the bedrock underneath the neighborhood where i grew up and am sitting right now. it'll be based on one i found by the maryland geological survey, just grayscale/fine-line rather than colored.* only thing that's holding me back right now, other than covid, is deciding where to put it. it's between wrapping it around my right thigh, right-side ribs, or right bicep/forearm.

morning

- push up x 27,25,15
longish rest between first and second sets

afternoon

- run 10.01 km in 49:08
dew point 59F/15C today, much lower than yesterday, although temp is similar (mid-80s/~30). but the route i ran today has two burly hills, so average pace was the same. i don't really trust my watch's elevation gauge, but fwiw it tells me the second hill is 72m of continuous gain over 1.2 km, including 32m over the last 280m. an 11% grade is pretty dang steep.

- stretch

- circuit x 2
-- SL squat x 10/leg
-- back scale x 10/leg

- pull up x 2,2,2; close grip chin up x 2,2,2; wide grip pull up x 2,2,2
