finally, finally went and ran with a group that does wednesday morning workouts at my local track. it was fun, i feel great. cold again this morning, same temp as yesterday.

122
- run 48:54, 8.11 km
25 degrees (-4 celsius) when i left the house this morning. wore my fleece over a long sleeve baselayer and gloves and was fine. if i'm ever gonna commit to a serious running goal, morning runs are gonna have to be the way.

if it was a bad sprain, seems normal that it'd still be hurt now, after less than a month. i sprained my right ankle six times when i was in my early 20s and the worse ones took a month or so to recover from. definitely recommend doing some ankle-specific rehab. for example:

- single leg balancing (progress by standing on a cushion, closing your eyes, throwing a ball against the wall and catching it, and setting up obstacles on the ground to reach for while maintaining balance)
- towel toe curls (stand or sit with your toes on the edge of a towel and curl your toes to draw the towel underneath your foot a bit at a time)
- ankle circles (max range of motion in both directions, and to mix it up you can use your big toe to spell out the alphabet in the air)

damn, sorry about your ankle. big difference between snapped (broken) and sprained, though. i'm guessing you mean sprained, since you didn't talk about a cast or getting surgery? anyway good luck. lord knows there's plenty of jump training resources in the archives here.

last night

- dreadmill intervals
-- warm up
-- 5 x (3 min @ 4:13, 1 min @ 5:52)
-- cool down
started to feel like an actual workout on the fifth rep. i should note that the gym is warm and very humid.

today

- climbing x 45 mins
walked up to what seems to be a brand-new bouldering gym about a mile from my hotel. the routes were not that fun and the holds were extremely rough. that + not climbing for two weeks = hands rubbed pretty raw. but glad i at least tried it out! heading to the airport in a couple hours, door-to-door it should be about 31-32 hours, a bit shorter than the way over.

catch-can't so far in indonesia, lol. i managed to get a short run in the afternoon i got to jakarta, but i immediately took off for central java and have been too busy and too jet-lagged to do anything but work and eat. back in jakarta now, have some time to rest today and tomorrow, so should be able to get *some* kind of exercise in, even if it's just dreadmill and stretching.

there were a surprising number of people jogging in solo, where i was for the last couple of days, and riding bikes in lycra-clad packs. in jakarta that is an obvious non-starter: the air and traffic are both appalling.

heading to indonesia today for about 10 days, will be back home on the 23rd. then turning around and heading to new orleans a couple days after that to visit my brother and sister-in-law. workouts will be catch-as-catch-can until the end of the month.

2016 did feel different somehow. i'm not sure i've fully come to terms with how, exactly. the despair is higher this time, for sure. i don't know, it feels like it'd be a miracle if there's a fair and open election in 2028. fuck.

but yeah, my body is still healthy, so there's that!

yesterday

- track intervals
-- warm up
-- 2 x [1000m, 600m, 200m w/200m slow jog rest; 600m between sets]
-- cool down
did the intervals progressively faster by distance, so the 1km in ~4:15, 600m at 4:00 pace, 200m at 3:15 pace (near sprint).

today

- warm up
-- run x 10 mins
-- hips, spine, shoulders, wrists/hands

- climb x 75 mins
felt uncoordinated and not that strong today for some reason. skin felt raw, too. still an okay session.

- run 1:00:24, 9.82 km
