faffing is a great word that i've picked up from my (british) gf. great word.

morning joint circles are smart, should get back to doing something like that. only takes ~5 minutes to go top to bottom, feels great.

lance armstrong was the most tested athlete in the world at one time. maybe i'm just being cynical, but the smoke ain't that old: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/19/sports/nike-oregon-project-alberto-salazar-dathan-ritzenhein.html?smprod=nytcore-iphone&smid=nytcore-iphone-share&_r=0

oregon project, massive PR...drugs. gotta at least suspect given how much smoke there is.

yep detaching from the discomfort and watching from outside definitely sounds familiar.

worked until 7 last night and then had to go straight to a work dinner so no run. slept badly as well, second night in a row. bah. tonight may go for the long run, especially if i can get my gf to come with for the first 4-6 km and set the pace nice and slow.

- run 8.09 km in 41:12
expected to be more tired today given how hard yesterday was. felt great, picked up pace on last km to bring it home under 5:00 pace, nice and easy. meanwhile eliud kipchoge ran 42km today at like 2:55 pace. HALOL.

- stretch

starting to get nice in the evenings, fingers crossed that the season is turning. 5:05 overall tonight with less effort than 5:20 is in the gnarly heat and humidity.

also, set a seven-day distance PR: 51.7 km. gently moving in the right direction.

also, i had a minor blood sugar crash after the run last night. was getting visual hallucinations on the way to dinner. insufficient lunch. speaking of which, time to eat.

got a german language stream on in the background while i do some work. it's amazing to watch the start of a race that big, thousands and thousands of people squeezing together toward the start line and then breaking into a run in a continuous wave.

leaders hit the first km in 2:43. i did 3:41 as one of two tempo kms yesterday. 

that's getting up to serious distance.
