i mean, overall cost of living is probably much higher where i live than where you live, so i'd expect some gap in cost. but still, $200 is highway robbery.

- run 42:03, 7.56 km
felt weirdly sluggish, pace reflects that. not sure why, maybe didn't eat enough yesterday?

just need adarq to get back on youtube with his bowie knife, keep everyone hyped up 

- intervals
-- warm up
-- 2 x (8 x 1 min 4:00-4:10 pace, 1 min slow jog) w/ 5 min jog between sets
-- cool down
a little faster than last time, still not hard to finish. was covering about 240-250m per interval but sped up just a bit for the last one and covered 280m. will keep ratcheting down the target pace a little at a time.

digging ditches just for fun?

~170 pounds/77 kg, i think. maybe a little less.

also, to answer the question you asked vag in his journal: for now i'm completely on the running train. but i'll get tired of it eventually and need to change things up, and at that point i think the likeliest thing will be to shift back toward a focus on strength and explosiveness. i don't think i'll ever dunk again -- i'm 36 and only ever managed to do it, like, twice, at the peak of my original dunk journey seven (!) years ago -- but it'd be nice to get back to being able to grab rim at will, at least. and squat 2x bw again.

incidentally, this journal turned 14 years old last month.

hello from denmark. week ended in an unexpected way: my fiancée called me on friday morning from copenhagen, in tears, asking me to call a doctor to her hotel room. she'd had a recurrence of the gastritis that knocked her out for two weeks in july 2022 and was freaking out. she ended up in the hospital, and i ended up on a plane over here to take care of her until she's well enough to travel. we're flying back today, so that's good. but anyway running plans (all plans) got disrupted. i did manage to get a treadmill workout in yesterday, which felt great.

- mixed tempo
-- warm up
-- 5 x (2 min @15kph, 2 min @9kph)
-- 10 min @ 14 kph
-- cool down

- GMB warm-up sequence
basic calisthenics to loosen up joints. got to commit to doing at least this every day.

nope, not at all. it's meditative when i'm by myself, and most of the time on long runs i'm with my fiancée anyway. she's good company. 

- run ~7 km, ~38 mins
watch died about a half km from home.
