dry fasting sounds like ramadan/ramzan fasting when it happens during the summer (as right now). most of my colleagues in pakistan fasted, which meant no food and water between daybreak and sunset. that is, a "dry" fast for 17-18+ hours. plenty don't lose any weight, though!

- run 2.4 km; 30s sprint w/4 min walking rest x 4; run 2.1 km
peak speed 34.6 kph, pretty okay with that.

- stretch

right knee tweaked a little on the last interval.  whatever's been messed up in there for years still is. i should really find a good PT to talk with about that. also, my elbows (?!) are tired.

40.2 km over past seven days. working back up to 50 km/week. visited some gyms today, found the one i'll join (anytime fitness stratford east). once i've settled into an apartment and figured out my school routine, plan is to re-introduce gym work in anticipation of a winter focused a bit more on strenf/power and a bit less on cardio, before shifting back in the spring when the weather and light suck less. hopefully with a bit more muscle and a bit more speed. also probably will get a bike and go to/from school that way at least some days. the commute is about 80-90 minutes round trip. not sure how that'll affect training. i've been running to the exclusion of nearly anything else for a long time now. might not hurt to mix things up for a few months. not abandon running altogether, of course, just redirect a bit of energy.

just spectacularly beautiful again today. ran along river lea and some side canals, got a wee bit lost again but not as bad as the other day. picked up pace a bit again for the final 1.5 km or so.

thursday

- walk a lot
spent most of the day wandering around london while gf studied. wouldn't ordinarily log but i walked at least 12-13 km over the course of the day, which is much above normal. the last time i walked that much and then tried to run a normal amount afterward i hurt my shin. hence no run yesterday on top of the walking.

France is no pushover, and this version of Team USA is one of the weakest ever assembled, but any team that scores just five points in the last eight minutes of a game while surrendering 22 is a team that should be embarrassed.

So she's kinda of grown up there, she's just gone back to live with her family - it is not the nicest area in London but it's kind of home for her I think. She feels fairly safe walking around at night and stuff I think. The area is a lot better than it was prior to the Olympics from what she tells me though and all in all a reasonable place to live.

London marathon I'm DOWN!

Cool, thanks. Yeah it seems like it's kind of gentrifying at the moment. We can't afford/wouldn't necessarily want to live anyway in the fancy neighborhoods. Leyton is bustling and super diverse feels very livable, at least so far. I really only get creeped out in places that feel empty or hollowed out and Leyton feels lived-in. Lots of families, lots of different languages and cuisines and styles. We put in an offer on a place last night, so now we pray that that owner accepts and that our references all clear. We'll find out about the former today, we hope. If he's cool with the offer -- and he should be, we offered what he was asking and were the first to do so -- then we'll find out about the latter early next week. Deep breaths.

BTW meant to say this before but I'm super down for some northern hikes (or fell running?). I have a buddy from Islamabad who's moving back here soon with his wife and is really into trekking and mountaineering; he attempted Aconcagua last January. He's also talked about putting together some long weekends in the hills. Let's do it.

first 4km with gf, extra slow because she was struggling on the back-to-back. explored olympic park, it's nice. about 1.5km in the other direction from where we're staying from the park we ran to yesterday, and more pleasant to get to (less time on busy roads).

Canal path in the Olympic Park is where I fucked up my ankle in a pothole, so watch out for that

duly noted.

adarq come over for the london marathon next year. 26 april 2020.

- run 4.6 km in 28:30
with gf, hence slow and short, just exploring and loosening up. jet lag pretty bad last two nights. better something than nothing. wansted flats has some dirt paths, which are nice at least in the woods (by the council flats there's a lot of trash) but it's not lit and there was almost no one there -- okay for me to run alone but gf wouldn't be comfortable. gukl, what's your gf think of living here?
