sicker than i thought. haven't slept well at all this week, although that's due at least partly to jet lag and to my a/c crapping out for a couple days. but i've had a low-grade headache since yesterday morning. woke up this morning to watch game 4 (booooring) and then went back to sleep until 2 PM. headache worse than before. need to be more deliberate about rest/sleep.

hm SL box jumps seem like a good thing to add to the ol' mesocycle. running-specific power work, low impact.

- run 5.27 km in 26:57
it's 32/90 outside. i have a cold. with jet lag my body thinks i started running at 3 AM; i got under 6 hours of sleep last night. so i shouldn't be too hard on myself. but feels like i've lost a lot of fitness. this was stiff and a drag and my pacing was crappy: 5:01, 4:31, 4:53, 5:05, 5:13, plus that little bit at the end.
- stretch
patience.

unorthodox start, but i'd say he overcomes it pretty well.

« on: June 05, 2018, 07:58:17 am »med men, right? say hi to my friend russell if he's there. he was on the team last year. we used to play mixed together a few years back.
oh dude, i met your friend russell. he almost layout d'ed me a few tryouts back haha. forgot you posted this and didnt mention you.
6/04
throws *300
ankle not good, will probably take more than a week to recover. now that tryouts are over i will keep pressure off the ankle, focus on short range throws, fitness-oriented upper+core lifting, and swimming once the ankle can handle it
word! yeah he's a good player. super nice dude, too. last time i saw him was in islamabad, randomly: we ran into each other outside my office building. turns out his company has an office downstairs from ours. small world.

last saturday
- run 4.32 km in 26:36
super slow, in brighton, with a friend of my gf's.
- stretch
back in islamabad now, where the lows are 32 and the highs are 42. fml. fast christian messaged me yesterday about running together in the morning and the trail running group has sprung into action. my cold is hopefully on the way out now. some thoughts about the coming weeks and months:
1. i need to find another race, probably in the fall at the earliest
2. i need to run more miles
3. i need to do more tempo, i lose power and am too conservative in races and that starts with being too conservative in training
4. i need to get back in the gym a couple times per week

Basketball / Re: NBA 2017 - 2018 Season
« on: June 05, 2018, 01:56:49 am »Curry deserves respect but not the way ppl usually give it, 'greatest shooter ever', but like in one of the best players ever. I'd squeeze him in the top 10, he belongs in the same company as Lebron, Jordan, Shaq, etc. I dont like his game, i dont personally enjoy dudes shooting 3 after 3, it's not very interesting basketball for me but the warriors (and rockets) have clearly solved the game of basketball and are playing on a level never seen before. Its boring af tho.
curry shooting 3 after 3 is different from any other player ever shooting 3 after 3, though. kyle korver (or jj redick, or steve kerr, or reggie miller, or tim legler, or larry bird, or steve nash, or [insert great shooter]) could not save a bad dribble and shoot an off-balance fadeaway six feet behind the line with a hand in his face and have the whole stadium unsurprised it went in. not even ray allen. people would believe it, he could do it, but the reaction would be, "oh the audacity! the skill! what a play!" whereas curry does something like that seemingly once every other game. one of the best $50 i've ever spent is watching the warriors play the wizards a couple years ago in DC. it is riveting to watch him play.

amazing photo, what a clear day! the air up that high is so intense, nothing in between you and the distance. i've never gone as high as 5500m, i think highest for me is 5200. super cool.
if you enjoyed, lmk if you want to climb a mountain in northern pakistan next year. trying to get a small group together to climb spantik, the "easiest" 7000m peak (i.e. very little to no technical climbing, it's basically a very, very high trek). yes srs.

- warm up x ???
- wimbledon common chase the sun 5k in 20:43 (watch), 21:14 (official)
the course was a little long, per the announcer at the finish line, and also it was muddy as hell. many places where we had to run around puddles and off the path. also training has been very inconsistent over the last couple weeks and i have the beginnings of a cold. with that in mind, watch improvement is nice but i'm still disappointed. first splits were 3:55 and 3:58, which is good, but then i obviously fell off. need to work on just pushing myself harder, i conserved a little too much. wasn't as gassed at the end of this one as the last one. got tenth overall out of 205.
- stretch
ETA: my gf also ran, with a bad cold (the one i'm just starting to get, hurray).
ETA2: the guy who won the 10k (there were two races with the same start; 10k two laps) clocked 34:12. that's fast! he was more than 3 mins clear of the second place finisher. fourth place in the 10k was a woman in 40:00, which is also super legit for a crappy condition overlong course race in a random park on a wednesday evening. 5k winner ran 18:36.
