thanks adarq. trip was a breeze, there were only 28 people on my flight -- had an entire row to myself, window to window -- and the airports were empty on both ends. watched "ready or not" on the plane, which was fun.

back home now and it's 90/32 degrees out. smh. i feel a little woozy from the travel but i think i'll try to run this afternoon anyway. prob take it easy because, on top of the heat, home is hillier than london.

oh shit man, that sucks.

got overwhelmed by shit going on back home yesterday, did not feel up to running and so gave myself the day off.

- run 16.30 km in 1:25:34
distance PR. hit a couple of serious bottlenecks where i had to slow to a walk, which brought overall average pace down a little. still, 5:15 is fine for a long run. right calf tight at the beginning again, stopped after ~0.5 km and massaged and stretched. it was fine after that. will pay some attention to it tonight and tomorrow.

- stretch

meditation getting extremely blissful at the moment to the point where it's hard to get on and do anything else!

sick.

that seems like a great place to start vag.

- warm up x 2 km
right calf felt a little tight for the first km or so but loosened up to 100% status. something to monitor.

- tempo x 3 km in [4:09, 4:06, 4:03]

- cool down x 2.22 km

lowered target pace on watch to 4:00-4:10, not only hit it but got negative splits. it's a loop, too, so not like i was cheating on the incline or wind.

that's interesting, that it'd be stress-related for both of you. that could be it. like with my headaches last fall, i don't feel consciously stressed but this situation is undoubtedly stressful so it's possible that my body is manifesting the stress that way. i've been sleeping okay: it's been a little bit hard to get to sleep the last couple of nights, i think mostly because it's getting warmer, but i've been getting at least 7 and usually more like 8 hours, which is normal. and no more or less caffeine than usual.

@gukl, it's a ringing or more accurately a steady high-pitched buzz, like the sound an old tv makes when it's on but muted.

quite understandable, all things considered. good luck getting back on the horse.
