thanks fellas. belgium does sound great, and brussels in particular. everyone i've mentioned it to who's spent time there really likes it.

@acole: it'll probably be a master's in cultural anthropology and development studies at ku leuven. still waiting to hear back from that program, but because i got into the two-year social and cultural anthropology master's i imagine i'll get into the one-year program as well. hoping to hear later this week. depending on how much i get into the research, phd may follow. but let's see. phds are a long road and i'm already 32.

my gf is going to be doing something similar, but probably at universite libre de bruxelles or uc louvain, in french.

bizarre interpretation of interesting but ultimately not critical data. come on, man, the daily squats have led to big strength gains and you're two-hand tomahawking the ball. yes you need to improve your cardiovascular fitness but hitting 188 BPM during a near-max effort activity makes perfect sense! it's fine!

RJ Barrett sucks and it's ludicrous that he got the ball at the end of the game. Per some guy on Twitter: "Duke lost three games with Zion Williamson in the lineup this year. RJ Barrett went ***0-for-9*** in the final minute of those three games. The rest of the team had three total shots. Zion had one."

- run 10.93 km in 58:42
a buddy texted today to see if i wanted to run, ended up going with him and another friend. a bit quicker than i meant as a result, although still slower than "natural" pace so it's all good. kicked last 0.93km in 4:13 pace. really fun. it's nice to run with a partner or two. i like running with my gf but she is much slower than i am so it's a different kind of thing.

- stretch

rest tomorrow.

thanks guys. she'd spent a few nights staying a friend's place and we met up for breakfast this morning. it was a bit awkward at first but ultimately really good. wise of her to get away for a bit and give us both some space. hopefully this'll just be a painful bump that we look back on as a time when we learned something important about each other.

anyway.

- warm up x 3.2 km, 550m on/off x 3 [2:06,2:00,2:00], cool down x 550m

- stretch

total distance 6.53km, total time 32:35. did this on the road so the fast sets were slightly downhill and recovery slightly uphill. was sucking wind by the end of the last tempo lap. will add another lap the next time i do this workout. plan is for tempo runs to eventually reach 3000m worth of working sets.

boy texas tech D is the truth. sad way for UM to go out, with a whimper. great season, though, given preseason expectations and our various talent limitations.

spent the last several hours writing a letter to my gf in response to one she wrote me a couple of days ago. i have never wanted a milkshake more in my life. but it's 3:45 AM, everything is closed, and i don't have any ice cream. damn it.

yeah man it has not been a fun ride. some accumulated grievances on her side that i thought we were working through okay but which have instead metastasized over the past few weeks.

- run 8.06 km in 42:17
unusually windy day, mostly a headwind on the way out and then swirling on the way back. felt a bit dead as well but not sure how much that was the wind and how much my lack of a single good night's sleep since gf came back from her trip last sunday. slow pace as a result, 5:14, and felt like a struggle to too great a degree.

- stretch

Im tempted to prolong the cut to 14 days now lol lol. But the downside is then i can't train as hard and something will lose out (sprinting/running/conditioning mainly). So that's not a good compromise

i've mentioned before my friend christian, who's a 16:xx 5k runner. he guides a blind friend of his on half and full marathons. the blind guy is a former world champ blind downhill skier. that is the craziest shit, to me. like being a blind motorcycle racer.
