Realised I logged in km yesterday rather than miles, lol. I have my watch in km and strava in miles so that I can finally build an inuitive sense of how to convert them.

hah. i have a good grasp on pace km to min/mi conversions for <= 3:05 only. distance conversions are decent across the board.





you going to night of the 10k pb's this year?

last year's results are so crazy.

world lead 10k this year, prior to Rhonex dropping 26:50, was like 27:30.. and a dude dropped 27:35 at no10kpbs last year, several 27:XX's.

crazy.

Yeah, I was at the race last year! It was a super nice environment, so I hope to go back this year. The friends I went with were pretty involved in running during university, so they know or recognise a lot of the big names who came from that scene, which made watching v exciting.

yea i remember you went. cool stuff.

i've never seen that kind of speed before. 27's for 10k is absolutely flying.

so sick.

i imagine this year will be just as good or better, olympics coming up not so far off.

pc!

5 point game omg.

really bad T on Curry.. damn.

damn klay looks pretty hurt.

3 point show for both teams right now. was down to 4 but GSW blew it back up to 10. i think it's back down to 7.

this 3rd qtr start by the raps is atrocious.. damn. :<

this is bad for TOR.

^^ long story short, I might have worked some magic on myself. I got really annoyed at the injury and just tried to stretch the living fu*k out of it - which I knew could be a very bad idea. This was up there with the longest & most intense i’ve ever stretched.

holding stretch positions for 5-10 minutes and such is very difficult. you have to focus so hard on just staying relaxed & calm. really controlling your breathing, trying to just melt into it, and then hold with no protective tension.

could be a David Goggins moment lol. He’s well known for 2-3 hour stretch sessions every night. I def don’t want to get into that… But sometimes your body is just urging you to do some intense stretching, it feels like an instinct. Apparently he fixed his jacked up body (from stress/training) by really committing to stretching.

when I was stretching yesterday, I wasn’t thinking about the injured area actually healing… I just wanted it to release it’s grip for a while and fucking relax.

would be amazing if it’s fixed now.

pc!

looking forward, strangely, to running in the islamabad heat again. it builds character, could set me up for a fit autumn in europe.

that's the spirit

it def builds character, and fitness. awesome to see you embracing it.

i can run in the heat for hours & lose 10+ lb of water weight. my dogs can play in that same heat for 10-20 minutes with rest breaks, before they are ready to pass out. In the cold they can play forever. When we're out there pushing through the scorching heat, it unlocks some great fitness & mental strength that's been locked away by the comforts of life (for most of us).

I ran in a thick long sleeve today in 103 F (heat index), lost 5 lb water in ~45 minutes going 11:XX min/mi (crazy slow). haha.

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.

damn.. awesome.
