retail story:

boss ordered me a grill (house warming gift). pretty cool.

start putting together the grill: broken part.

go to home depot, get a replacement.

get home. putting it together, another broken part.

go to home depot: they tell me i have to send it to Weber.....

im like fuck that, i just want to return it. so, I return it and get a $500 store credit (god damn!!)..

so then, i find that grill is actually the best one in that size, it's stainless steel... and they dont carry that one in stores. so, I decide to just re-order that one, and have them assemble it for me.

they ring it up online, $138.................. WTF? The $500 grill, i got it for $138........ seems like a mistake. I told them multiple times, this can't be right.. and they were like "same product, we don't know why it's that much cheaper but you just saved alot of money"

so now i have like 350+ on this gift card

boss said to just buy whatever with it. he couldnt believe it. sounds like a mistake in their system.

no way that grill is $138.. the one in store, cast iron (less quality), is $450. everywhere online this model is $499.

so after 4-5 frustrating hours with this grill.. it might have worked out. hah.

 

OMG FOOTBALL IS HERE.

 

(started thursday with packers/bears)

diamond league finals.

Sifan doubled 1500m, 5000m. Her teammate gets 3rd. They are becoming a great force in 1500m & 5000m. Now everyone is waiting to see what Sifan tries to double in the World Championships.. 1500m + 10k? or 5k + 10k? 1500m + 10k sounds awesome. I kinda hope she does that. You never hear of someone doing that. The speed & endurance it takes to be able to win both of those is nuts.

Noah doubled 100m, 200m.

Cheruiyot dominates 1500m. Jakob gets 2nd.

300m steeple race was great. awesome finish.

today:

fair amount of cycling prolly 1 hour mod intense in total

gym upper:
pull ups 3 x 10 felt strong
inc db bp 34kg  x 8 30kg x 10
pullovers db 24kg 2 x 12
curls 22kg x 8 14kg x 12
tris pull downs 2 x 15

60mins hot yoga (intense today damn)

nice!!

i wonder if that feeling people get w/ hot yoga, is similar to what i get with 95-100+ F long slow runs. feel sooooo loose/good after.

I imagine so!! The room is set at 38c (I think around 100F). It's definitely a different kinda feeling to exercising in cool conditions.

100F, nice!

Today wanted to yoga again but no time

Run treadmill 30mins 11km/h

Squats 105kg x 5, 95kg x 10

Leg curl 45kg 1 x 15

Making progress with these bare minimum volume sessions. Had some insomnia last night so running on like 1 hour lol, always think back to the article on here 'no sleep, who cares - go get it' in these situations.

ya you'll be fine, unless it's chronic ;d

i missed this, you're moving to London? when did this happen - belgium was the plan last i read (or is london just en-route?)

i'll be down there quite a bit over the next few months as my gf is currently living there, lets park run!

nice!!! jealous of this park run meetup if it happens. there's some other potential members too. could be a decent sized squad hah. 8|

yeah it was fun. hadn't done that in literally years.

ya i'm enjoying it as well. doing it every weekend now. gives me a nice distraction for a few hours (with yard work etc).

- tennis w/ dad x 45 mins
we were both starting to get the groove back a bit, had some really strong rallies. dad put some good zip on a few forehands and also mishit a bunch; overall big improvement over the past few times we've played.

nice!!
