why doing the arm swings with DBs? speed comes from the arm, per your signature quote. why slow them down?

- run 6.01 km in 30:58
- stretch
it was 100 degrees out
just a curious question what makes you post your distances in metric kilometers but you posted the temp in Fahrenheit?(pretty sure it was not 100 degrees Celsius)
lol yes the air was steamy but not full of literal steam. i usually post in both when i post temps, just lazy this morning. i live outside the US now and so i have to use metric most of the time, but i'm american and fahrenheit will always be easier. plus "it's 100" sounds hotter than "it's 37.8."
for distance km>miles because that's what races and tracks are measured in, and base ten is easy to use

lagat winning is bonkers but isn't it a bad sign for US running that a 43 year old won a national title?

that guy also scored the goal that brought them to 2-2. he's brazilian and apparently has several screws loose. acquired russian citizenship two years ago on a personal decree from putin.

nope? i think i have seen them on twitter a fair bit though. any particular reason you mention/particular recommendations?
he refers to friends very often as "pals," which you did in a recent post. it's unusual, most people i know don't use that word. i just read they can't kill us until they kill us, which i liked okay -- at his best he's brilliant and unique, nobody else writes about music like that -- but which got old before i finished. better encountered in bits and pieces i think.

last night was tired to the point of feeling vaguely sick. no run. this has been a rough week.
- run 8.06 km in 41:20
- stretch
at least it's not quite as hot as it's been (low 30s/high 80s instead of high 30s/~100).
today marks six months since my brother died.
rest in peace, jack.

i got on the barefoot running train ten years ago. i remember when macdougal's book and POSE blew up and then crossfit incorporated POSE-like prescriptions because they had the ring of truth with no evidence (like the paleo diet or kelly starrett's postural purism) and it took off. then i developed osteoarthritis in my toes and stumbled off the train.
the research consensus is swinging back away from barefoot>*. there just isn't any evidence that running barefoot improves running economy or reduces injuries at a population level; in fact when i was last following the research, 4-5 years ago, seemed like barefoot running may just transfer injury risk from the knees down to the feet and ankles. for most people who grew up in shod cultures it's fine to wear shoes. there's huge variability from person to person, of course, so if running barefoot feels great for you then rock on. i'll stick with lightweight running shoes.

rondo can't shoot though. what'll happen when lebron dribbles for 18 seconds, drives, then kicks it to him?
also re: boogie, GSW could be perfect. he can spend the first 40-50 games rehabbing, the last 30-40 games playing his way into shape and cohesion with the team, and then turn them into a shapeshifting monster in the playoffs.
