there's a 350-400m uphill on the back side on my neighborhood. thinking about running around to it as an extended warm up (~3 km), doing some hill repeats, then cooling down with the final ~1 km to my house. maybe tomorrow, partly just to rest and partly to begin to shift my schedule earlier so i'm running the morning. got an early night and good night's sleep last night. today might do a little bit of yoga/calisthenics or might do nothing, we'll see.

i wish. keep looking for something to run. the khunjerab pass marathon seems to be cancelled: the website is no longer there. glad i didn't put any money down on that. there was a 5k/10k/half/marathon in hunza a couple of years ago organized by samina baig (climbed everest at age 21, climbed the other six summits in eight months at age 23, first pakistani woman to do either of those things). need to find out if it's on again this year. if so then i should contrive to be there and compete.

damn that sucks a$$. Website disappearing is sketchy.

at some point you might have to organize your own race ......... not sure how hard that would be.

damn hope you find something in the not-so-distant future.

that Loco Rio group I run with organizes their own races, plan on doing some eventually. I think the next one is in April (8k). They also talked about creating their own XC "circuit".. i'd be very interested in that. I love running on soft surfaces.

the problem with organizing your own race here is the police and security. basically if you want to have any large concentration of people, especially outside, you need a "no-objection" from the police and that can take ages and they're liable to cancel at the last minute. happened to my gf last month: she was supposed to open for this big pop star on valentine's day and like two days before they said, all outdoor events on valentine's day are banned. it was a bummer.

that said, one of the guys i ran with last wednesday morning said there was an austrian lady who used to live here who organized a triathlon and left behind a list of all the steps she took to get that done. so it's possible. longer-term project perhaps.

If you have kidney issues, I'd be staying the hell away from pre-workouts. I doubt they're more effective than having a strong coffee 30min before.

and much more expensive.

move to pakistan, it's fucking gorgeous here right now. mornings are mid-50s/12-13 degrees celsius, afternoons upper 70s/25 celsius. sunny 8-9/10 days and the one day it rains it cleans the air so beautifully.

my gf is angling to move back to the UK for grad school and i will follow her there and the weather is one thing i'm definitely not looking forward to.

^ why do they have to run on shorter track and have to worry about hitting a padded wall? im sure that does distract em slllllightly.

because they're inside.

two of those guys came up injured, though. the combine is dumb. i mean, i love it. but it's dumb. most job interview processes are dumb.

how long did that swim take you?
