if you're fearing injury, you're doing the wrong routine.

joined a gym.
- treadmill tempo/progression: 1 km @ 10.5, 12, 14, 15, 10.5, 15/10.5, 9
total 7 km in ~36:30. the late 500m split at 15kph was a bit tough, legs felt tired. still not too hard overall. the last segment at 9kph (6:40/10:44 pace) was good practice for future superslow runs.
- pull up myo-rep x 8+3+3
- dip x 8+3+3
took it easy since it's the first time in a long time doing these
- straight leg raise x 10,10,10
- BSS x 10/leg
- stretch

that is a bummer. i still mourn the first gym i went to in DC. they had to close it because of a dispute with their landlord. by then they'd grown, opening bigger branches in a couple of other neighborhoods, but the original place was just the best. any kind of equipment you could want, a regulation basketball court, and small enough that i knew both the owners. a real community. RIP balance kalorama.

counterpoint: jumpers like scoob (and me) need all the arm swing we can get. jumping that high for us is as dependent on technique as a high jump. messing with the technique at all, for example by holding something tenuously in one hand, is a recipe for not just losing inches but flailing around like an idiot.

- run 10.25 km in 56:04
nice and relaxed, through the beautiful park near gf's aunt and uncle's. mostly in the shade but it was still a bit warm (29-30, mid-80's) and i'm getting over this cold.
- push up x 15,15,15
- stretch
looking forward, strangely, to running in the islamabad heat again. it builds character, could set me up for a fit autumn in europe.
also, meant to mention that although we didn't run for a couple days we've been walking quite a lot, exploring neighborhoods in which we might live.
