another beautiful day. legs felt a little tired for the last ~6 km, kind of weird. HR never went over 150, averaged 134, so it's not like i was pushing too hard or something.

did the bounds feel kind of slow? it looks like you're spending a long time on the ground, and like your knees come quite far out over your toes before you take off again. not sure why that would be. maybe you're trying to keep them too horizontal?

i'm nobody's idea of a reactive jumper but for comparison, check out these bounds of mine from ten years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8jgmKVlLC8. (skip ahead to 0:20.) i'm quicker off the ground and also going much higher on each one. that was near my all-time peak jumping ability, i dunked like five months after this video.

gorgeous morning, mid-50s and sunny. legs felt a little dead until the strides, which i did at the track before jogging the rest of the way home. sprinting gets the muscles firing right. nice.

really nice weekend up visiting friends in philly. slept extremely well last night, almost nine hours. got back early afternoon, had a smoothie, and headed out.

- run 1:42:06, 17.32 km
great route, kind of improvised my way through a trail i'd never been on before and know DC well enough that despite not really knowing where i was, i ended up pretty much exactly where i'd intended. especially after spending the weekend in philly, i really appreciate how many real trails there are inside DC, within easy distance of my front door. legs felt a little tired from about km 11 onward, oddly. nice day, a little warm but breezy and not too humid.

how's the commute to the new job? that can be another big factor. i only have to be in twice a week but on those days i spend 1:10-1:30 in transit, and that's better than a lot of people. takes away from time to do anything else.

T+DI 151. not super hot but dew point way up there, it's really humid. let the heat training commence.

going out of town this weekend and rushing around trying to do a little work and run an errand before we go so cut this a bit short again.

- track workout
-- warm up
-- 2 x [2 x 5:00 @ 3k pace, 2:00 @ marathon pace] w/ 3:00 rest
-- cool down
tough. didn't pre-program my watch so i just tried to eyeball it. ended up being more like 5k pace and MP +8-10s and that was hard enough for this morning. very wet out but not raining.
