- run 10.57 km in 56:58
not too hot but very humid, went out right after a thunderstorm. also, had to poop really bad for about 15 minutes. tried to hold it in but i was at the track so at the ~35' mark i went into the little clubhouse and took a shit. first time i've ever done paused a run to do that, i think. i don't usually have to poop at this time of day. weird.

woof, small shoulder muscles are out of shape. will keep doing these, very healthy.

- pull up myo-reps x 8+3+3+3
there we go. still need a bit of rest between sets to get there. will try to do 10 on the first set next time, then reduce rest to five breaths before adding any weight.

- stretch

- treadmill tempo 1 km @ 11,11,13,14,10.5,9.9
fatigue is a hell of a thing. plan was to build up to 15kph again but that was not happening, felt dangerous to be going that fast. struggle bus.

- pull up myo reps x 8+3+3+2
need a bit longer rest on these until i get a bit stronger

- dips x 10+3+3+3
add weight next time

legs so tired! surprised at how much so, last night wasn't very intense. also it's quite hot, even in the gym.

that is an absolutely insane haul for the pelicans.

tried with headphones today, listened to a podcast. it was better. still not great, but tolerable.

- treadmill run 10.0 km in 52:08

total distance for first week back: 35.1 km. good start, will bump it up next week.

also what an anticlimax at the end, with the refs mucking everything up with the foul call. like, if it really happened before the ball was inbounded then why spend five minutes at the monitor debating it? and if it happened after the ball was inbounded then just let the clock run out, it's meaningless to the outcome of the game. pretty nuts that the warriors came so close in such a battered state. wish there could be a game 7, but oh well.

hard not to feel like it's the end of an era.

two years to wait for surgery in the public system? yeesh. i wonder what non-emergency ortho waiting times are like on medicaid (public insurance only for low-income/poor people) in the US.

how much would the private surgery cost? and do you have insurance that would cover it or would it be out of pocket?

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.
