got overwhelmed by shit going on back home yesterday, did not feel up to running and so gave myself the day off.

- run 16.30 km in 1:25:34
distance PR. hit a couple of serious bottlenecks where i had to slow to a walk, which brought overall average pace down a little. still, 5:15 is fine for a long run. right calf tight at the beginning again, stopped after ~0.5 km and massaged and stretched. it was fine after that. will pay some attention to it tonight and tomorrow.

- stretch

meditation getting extremely blissful at the moment to the point where it's hard to get on and do anything else!

sick.

that seems like a great place to start vag.

- warm up x 2 km
right calf felt a little tight for the first km or so but loosened up to 100% status. something to monitor.

- tempo x 3 km in [4:09, 4:06, 4:03]

- cool down x 2.22 km

lowered target pace on watch to 4:00-4:10, not only hit it but got negative splits. it's a loop, too, so not like i was cheating on the incline or wind.

that's interesting, that it'd be stress-related for both of you. that could be it. like with my headaches last fall, i don't feel consciously stressed but this situation is undoubtedly stressful so it's possible that my body is manifesting the stress that way. i've been sleeping okay: it's been a little bit hard to get to sleep the last couple of nights, i think mostly because it's getting warmer, but i've been getting at least 7 and usually more like 8 hours, which is normal. and no more or less caffeine than usual.

@gukl, it's a ringing or more accurately a steady high-pitched buzz, like the sound an old tv makes when it's on but muted.

quite understandable, all things considered. good luck getting back on the horse.

functional fitness!
