went to roosevelt island for the first time in my life. ended up on some trails that were overgrown, jumping over and ducking under logs, having to navigate a little. pretty surprising given that georgetown or arlington are in sight practically the whole way around! it was fun.

low back and biceps feeling it a bit. still don't have internet in the new place because the modem won't connect. the pin the coax cable that comes out of the wall is bent. back at parents' for the night and will try again in the morning with a pair of pliers.

i think you collapse way too much in those depth drops, you're just sinking into a squat. i'd try a much lower box.

(i'm still testing positive tho)

hope you're not still planning to do the race if you're still testing positive <10 days out...

slept like garbage last night. had one continuous dream about my two most meaningful exes, which i may or may not have awoken in the middle of. in the first part, i was lying on the floor with the most recent ex and nicole aniston, the porn star. we were all naked. ex had invited nicole aniston to have sex with me after ex used clippers to trim my pubes. this was all a big surprise. i knew that she'd have liked me to trim my pubes, although she never specifically asked about it, and in the dream she seemed really excited by the whole thing, so i went along with it. i find nicole aniston very unattractive, so i was worried i wouldn't be able to get it up. and in fact, when she started to straddle me i was still limp. then, suddenly, time had passed. i was standing in the same room but with my previous ex sitting on the floor. both of us clothed. she was looking at me mournfully, pouting, but not saying anything. then i looked around and noticed that she'd taken all of her things out of the room. she was moving out and breaking up with me and it was a fait accompli. i was taken aback by the suddenness and finality of it, which was true of my actual breakup with that ex. then she was not there anymore and i was alone, looking around at the stuff that was left.

you don't exactly have to be freud to note that i am craving both physical and emotional intimacy and that i miss both of my exes.

anyway, on the upside i was awake super early this morning so i went for a run after missing last night because of work.

left shoulder still quite sore and tender. there's a big bruise, as well, about the size of a deck of cards but oval shaped. and upper traps are stiff and sore now. did much more mobilization and self-massage throughout the day than normal.
