- walk 5.44 km in 53:19

- GMB warm up

- GMB foot routine

- push ups x 10,12,7,7,21
trying 100 pushup challenge on for size. let's see if i actually stick with it this time. meant to start 20 pull up challenge too but my pull up bar turns out to be broken. i think i fixed it but i'll wait for the glue to set before i put it up.

yesterday

- GMB floor 1.1
eh, i don't think i want to start this all over again, either.

today

- run 6.1 km in 28:48
tried to keep it relaxed, still ended up at 4:43 pace. that is a few hairs fast but i hadn't run in two weeks (!!!) so it makes sense that my legs were ready to go. right foot felt a little weird at the beginning but not the arch really so that's a good sign. still, no run tomorrow and i'll keep the distances very modest for a while.

- stretch

yes, exactly.

is australia a month behind the rest of the world? or are you for some reason logging with a month-long lag?  :trollface:

(you're writing dates with "2" in the months position)

blister on left heel, what the hell? been running in these shoes for two months but apparently walking in them is so different it gave me a blister. didn't go for a long walk today. instead

- yoga x 35 mins
did a lesson from alo moves, which my gf subscribes to, focused on leg activation. pretty tough. yoga is really not the best route for me because of my toes. i'm gonna start back in with GMB instead, from tomorrow.

i had what i think was a posture-related (certainly shoulder/back/neck-related) headache on wednesday. heat patches and the electric self-massager are great IME.

yesterday

- walk 6 km in 55:00

- stretch

gonna walk again today and do something a bit more intense. not sure what yet. still waking up with a little arch pain/discomfort so not ready to run again.

a bit overcast but bright. breezy. walked through the olympic park, was nice to see people out and about even if not interacting with them. joggers, bikers, parents pushing strollers, a pair of older men pruning branches along a path, a pair of teenagers making out on a park bench.

- GMB warm up (partial)

- scales x 5,5,5/leg

- stretch
whatever's wrong with my foot is definitely still there, i can feel it dully during deep calf stretches or when i pull the skin up around my arch.

did you find out what the berries are? there's an app that can tell you what a plant is using the camera. can't remember what it's called.

I saw a guy in the gym today beasting on the bike, he was doing intervals i think. If you can ramp the difficulty up and then do tabata protocol (i think 6x20s on, with 20s rest?) it can be a great conditioning tool. Doing steady state with bike though, i find im better at challenging my legs than my heart and lungs .. hr sticks around 135bpm which is a bit too leisurely but still hard work for my legs..

tabata is 8x20s on/10s rest. and the "on" is all-out, like you're riding away from a lion that's catching up to you.

good on you for staying at home.

- walk 7.48 km in 1:13

gorgeous day. didn't see too many people out on the trail or road. foot perfect.

1407
did some walking around dover this weekend. started to develop what seems like a mild cold and this morning i woke up with a mild cough. self-isolating for the next week, per government advice. i'll still go out for walks and try to build back to runs (being very conservative w/r/t foot), but no interacting in person with anyone other than my gf until next week.

wapo again with the great interactive graphics: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/corona-simulator/.

smart. this is one advantage of running: it's solitary and outdoors.

1409
god a 4.12 just looks so fast.

looking forward to hearing the outcome of your timing session.

i remember lyle mcdonald years ago saying that the only thing more boring than a stationary bike is a stationary hand bike.
