sick job on the PR!
you should definitely be able to run 19:00 in the next race if you can hit 5:50 for a mile at the beginning of a run. three 6:20s in a row? go get it.
<-- what it looks like when i run.
which was very surprising. I tried running the first mile harder than the second (6:40)/third(7:06) because I didn't want to wear myself out. I signed up for a 5k run tomorrow. It's at a real nice park so, should be fun... I guess today injected me with a bit more confidence because, even though I feel crappy/slow, somehow I ran my best mile split since having the watch. I think my "perception" of speed and effort is just completely wrecked in the morning/day time... This might make some sense. Physically, the evening is cooler, so that's working in my favor. Biologically, we're generally stronger in the evening. Visually/mentally, it's "dark" and my eye sight is worse at night; I see less details because of astigmatism. So maybe as i'm running at night, everything seems to be moving by quicker. Also, in the day time I can look straight ahead more than at night (where I have to look ahead but down at an angle). At night, I have to look harder for rocks/debris as i'm running. Actually that makes alot of sense.. if i'm looking at more of the ground, I probably feel faster. Or am I just a nutbag?
My pug got sick yesterday, probably pancreatitis again so I'm just going to relax with her since she has bad anxiety when I'm gone...Yes someone out there loves me! haha jk.
I got a call from the police today and they said the man is now in a stable condition and expected to make a full recovery. He doesn't want to press charges or pursue any legal action so it's the end of the matter. I'm going to use this as a lesson to remain calm in the future because life is precious and I've worked to hard in my life just to throw it all away with some poor choices.
I didn't realise this until today but I actually got a PR last friday - BS 2x132.5kg which was nothing special cause i'd been using this weight for a while and usually doing more than one double at a time... but this was done at a bodyweight of 77.9kg....... which makes a ratio of 1.7! The first time i've ever got out of the 1.60s! And this is raw, no belt, so that's also special. I'm on the right track.. just have to keep chasing that ever elusive 2.0.
Candy Review TIME!!!!!
Butterfinger reeses cup
it sucks, don't bother, the chocolate of the cup doesn't mix well with the butterfinger flavor. I ended up throwing the second one out the window.
went to wizards-warriors last night, now i can tell my grandkids i watched steph curry drop 51 in a game. would have been fun for the wiz to win -- and they kept it competitive! -- but hey, steph curry is a freak. he had a couple awesome only-dude-who-has-ever-been-able-to-do-that plays, like getting a steal running toward the sideline, stopping on a dime, turning, and firing a basically blind three with a dude in his face from about 28-29 feet.
Quotemy left leg might be slightly longer, my left foot is DEFINITELY bigger, but doubt that's it. i've had all kinds of injuries in the past from playing basketball and such. I also have some issues in my sacral spine (genetic) that have bugged me off and on since I was a teenager. In the end though, I think it's just all of the years of sports, injuries, compensation, and lack of mobility/flexibility training.
It's the same story with me, just that it is my left side. Left hip, SI joint and shoulder are often pretty stiff eventhough I do SMFR/mobility daily. My explanation is that I had two very severe ankle sprains a few years back from playing volleyball... one time I even tore two ligaments in my ankle. Since then my ankle has never really felt the same and eventhough I don't experience any pain it just feels odd. It's hard for me to get adequate ROM so I probably wouldn't be able to do front squats with good form without my romaleos. It seems that there are injuries that cannot be undone and you have to try your best to work around them. If that means avoiding certain exercises/activities, so be it. Sometimes you have to be smart instead of fighting through it. Better be save than sorry.
