- run 9.62 km in 46:47
very warm outside, not quite hot. went out a little too fast (4:45, 4:40) but the first 2 km are all downhill and with the wind. came in at about the same pace for the last 1.62 km, but had to work for it just a little. never let breath get harder than four steps in, four steps out.

- stretch

- run 15.03 km in 1:14:36
easy pace, checked in periodically to make sure i could do five steps per in and out breath. averaged 4:58. it was crowded as hell on the canal tow paths today.

- stretch

- run
felt charley horse starting to develop in right calf almost immediately, paused to stretch and mobilize but it reappeared right away. bailed.

- walk x ~8 km

ranges from ~140-155 average.

i've found the kinvara soles to be plenty durable, FWIW.

also saucony marks previous models down as soon as the new model debuts. worth checking to see if there are kinvara 10s out there, since apparently it's basically the same shoe.

the garmin also produces very unpredictable "recommended recovery times", IME.

thanks acole, i appreciate it.

studies disrupted in that i was supposed to be in indonesia this month to do some action research about housing rights, and that's obviously been cancelled and replaced by a jerry-rigged substitute activity. but otherwise class was pretty much over before the lockdown started, i only had to do a little over a week of classes remotely. all that's left are a couple of short assignments due in early june and then my dissertation due in september, which is obviously a solo effort. would have been nice to be able to get around for changes of scenery while i work on it but functionally it doesn't matter much to be doing it from home.

tbh the main thing this changes for me work-wise is that i'll be looking for jobs in DC rather than london, and won't have to worry about getting my work approval status changed.

Sorry to hear. One of the big 'jokes' here is that post-covid we will have a divorce pandemic.
Give yourself a few days to relax, for thoughts to settle, for intense emotions to weaken, for blood to cool. Then re-think everything. The more time passes, the more logic takes over.
I understand it is highly awkward doing all that while living together, if you can somehow detach yourself from being in there, travel elsewhere with your mind, maybe it would help.

this is extremely sage advice. thanks vag.
