- 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.

thursday

- run 7.64 km in 45:21
with gf, so slow. did a couple of longish (~600m) hills for funsies.

- stretch

have had a cold since france that's now migrated into a deep cough. planned to run 8-10 km today but will take it easy instead. gf has it worse, she went back to bed this morning.

jk

i'm in belgium! new country for me. number 38, by century club rules (if you've been on the ground, it counts, even if just in transit -- by that standard i've been to qatar, senegal, and turkmenistan); number 35 by ordinary people rules (you've got to have driven or walked around outside a transit center).

spent the last several days in france, mostly in the small village where my gf's dad lives, a few hours east of paris, in champagne-ardenne. did two runs along the canal towpath next to the place we were staying:

monday
- run 8.52 km in 42:39

tuesday
- fartlek 8.8 km in 42:54
felt amazing, ran through the woods on an old track for a while, did a couple 500m stretches at 3:20-3:30 pace, some strides, some very light trotting. towpaths are the best.

plan is to catch up on a bit of work now while we digest breakfast and then go for a light run around the suburb where gf's aunt and uncle live outside brussels.

- frisbee x 1:10
gonna say i covered about a normal amount, so ~4.5 km total. today should have been fartlek today but it's the last chance to play ultimate for a while and i'm hitting the road friday anyway. thought about tacking on a short run after getting home then thought better of it.

- stretch

good luck!

Another ball game last night. Another decent-ish effort. Was a bit hung over and didn't feel great. We won by a about 10 or 12 in the end. Had another game of guys hitting and hanging off me and then getting upset when they got some in return. Smh

Related to the above though new  39 years yesterday. Feel every bit of that right now after a big weekend of eating and drinking.

Clean eating day 1 haha

there's a story about milton berle, a mid-century hollywood guy who had a legendarily huge cock. a guy once approached him in a steam bath and challenged him to prove the legend true and compare sizes. a friend who was with berle said, "go ahead milton, just take out enough to win."

GSW is milton berle.
