sunday
- run 1:01:51, 9.74 km
with wife
*bathroom break*
- race pace practice
-- run 1 km
-- 3 km @ (4:21, 4:19, 4:17)
-- run 1.5 km
relatively pleased although this was short. the high-effort bit was mostly uphill and i managed to keep it right at or just under 10-mile target pace, without watch cues. it wasn't hard but also wasn't as easy as i'd like it to be given that the race is in a bit over a month.

wednesday
- run 30:22, 5.00 km
yesterday
- tempo
-- warm up
-- 2 x 1km @5k pace (3:46, 3:50)
-- cool down
a little too fast on the reps, doing them by feel (i.e., without a pace range programmed into my watch).
today
- run 50:49, 8.01 km
decided to bail on the 5k tomorrow because there's a flood watch through tomorrow morning and i don't feel like driving an hour to run a race i don't care about in 40 degree driving rain.

makes sense. same for us regarding priorities, with the addition that (1) we like being kind of in the geographical middle of our friends, (2) being close to the metro is critical because when we do commute, that's how, and (3) we are trying to have a kid, so it'd be nice to be near a good pre-k/elementary school. although, given that we lasted less than two years in this place before getting kicked out, (3) is a relatively low priority.

in the same boat re: having to move, although in our case it's because our landlady is selling our house. sad because we've loved this place but we are starting to get excited, too. good luck! where are y'all looking to live?

my guess is, get ready for a whoosh, especially if the last couple hundred kcal you cut now are from carbs.

saturday
- climb mt. washington, ~8.5 miles round-trip with 4000+ feet of gain. we got "good conditions," once we were above the treeline winds were 40-50 mph (65-80 kph) and gusting to 70 mph (112 kph), air temp in the low-to-mid 20s (~-4 c) and windchill low single digits fahrenheit (~-16 c). very fun, but sprained my toe on the upper part of the descent, when we were still in crampons. it didn't start hurting badly until the next morning but it's still bothering me a little now on tuesday morning. obviously haven't run since, hopefully will be back in shape to do so by tomorrow.
