yesterday
- catch with FP x ~90 mins
also played HORSE and shot around for a bit. he can still dunk easily. my hops have regressed completely, couldn't even touch rim. that may have had a little to do with my toe situation but regardless, ouch.
today
- run 42:13, 7.83 km
short and slow. toe still felt a little weird but was able to run without limping so ok. right pec and arm, and also glute, a bit sore from all the throwing yesterday.

it was gnarly. hurts this morning, taking the dressing off and soaking in warm salty water was not enjoyable. i can stand on it now but rolling through that toe isn't happening yet.

stubbed my right big toe so badly last night that the nail bed filled with blood and started leaking. went to the podiatrist today, she removed the nail to make sure there wasn't a serious cut under there that could have gotten infected. turns out no cut, the blood was coming from the base of the nail. still, pretty freaking gross. so yeah, no running yesterday or today. she did say i could go back to it tomorrow but let's see how the toe feels.
right now it just feels like it isn't there, because of the novocaine.

- run 48:54, 9.41 km
finally managed to get myself up to run before work again and didn't have any early calls to compete. did the middle ~3 km on a park trail almost completely out of sight of any road. god i love DC. much more climbing than i'm used to: typical runs around my parents' were 55 feet/mile. this route was over 90 feet/mile. but very much uphill-downhill so coming home was easier.

- run 46:52, 9.20 km
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.

last night
- run 42:28, 8.85 km
first run starting at my new place. there's a steep downhill scramble onto the rock creek park path literally across the street from the building. sick. ran along potomac, around behind lincoln memorial, around washington monument, past white house/BLM plaza, and back. not bad for winging it. will try running up the river in the other direction next time.
- stretch
god that felt good. so stiff.
comcast guy came this morning so i finally have internet. thought i'd be able to set it up on my own but nah, landlady literally had never used the internet in here so the guy had to connect to the exterior cable.

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 feel like i've been treading water with running this winter and it's lapsed into a kind of sad dog paddle.
