how is there a 15-minute differential between going to and from the gym?

sick the last two days, no running. i felt good this morning but my head starting hurting again at lunch. fml.
EDIT: taking tonight off as well. headache has gone down but i can feel it lurking. would be dumb to push it.
on the plus side i signed up for a 5k fun run next weekend. not chip timed but there will be other people in it.

- run 8.22 km in 40:01
- stretch
tried to keep it relaxed and chill but couldn't slow down past 5:00 pace, ended up at 4:52 average. also there's a guy i've seen once before who runs super hard in a shalwar kameez, kind of interval style. he showed up about 6 km in and would pass me and then slow down and then speed up again when i passed him. i just kept running along steadily until the last lap, when he went to pass me and i took off just to keep pace with him. he smiled and sped up, and i sped up, and we sprinted for a bit, and then i went too fast for too long and he got tired. i gave him a thumbs-up over the shoulder as he slowed to a walk and i kept going. it was fun.

« on: October 01, 2018, 09:28:16 am »Great 3km time. Where does that put you for a predicted 5km?
it's 19:40 pace. running calculators predict 20:16-20:20 but i was alone and not actually racing, meaning no competitors. i think i could hang on to <4:10 pace for another 2 km with enough motivation to do so, which would put me under 20:00.

^^^no doubt. the mental aspect of it is really key, easy to see that in retrospect as it was with the races. how does my brain handle discomfort? how can i help it handle discomfort better?
had a persistent headache yesterday starting in early afternoon that is still with me this morning. didn't run as a consequence. hoping it'll dissipate over the course of the day today.

- run x 7.21 km [warm up x 2 km; time trial x 3km in 11:48 ; cool down x 2 km]
- stretch
woot! read once that a 3 km time trial is a decent benchmark of fitness for a 5k race (i.e. competing with other people). meant to do this on the track but ended up having to do it on the road for logistical reasons, which meant a couple of steep-ish climbs but also that it i ended up a few meters lower than i started. calling it a wash. i set it up on my watch as a 2-mile test but hit 3km right as i got to a major road and had to stop to not, you know, get hit by a car. once i could start again i was dead so i finished slow. so i'll just let myself be happy that i hit the 3km target. next time i do a 2-mile test i'll either do it on the track or turn right onto the street right before the big road.

- run 6.63 km in 36:12 [light strides x ~100m, 170m, 150m at the end]
forced slow pace and kept it short because plan is 3km time trial (or maybe two-mile test, i.e. 3.21 km) tomorrow.
- stretch
i have had a very shitty week at work. in an unusually bad mood, letting it affect me to an unusual degree. not sure why.
