not as sore as i expected, mainly tib anteriors and peroneals. doing some foot-ankle-lower leg specific work would probably not hurt my running. more pirouettes, maybe some SL calf raises, some heel walking, and more mobility. shoulder feels good, which is (1) a surprise and (2) awesome.

also, my pulling last night was fucking awesome. helped that there was a light cross breeze but i coffin-cornered a couple of floaters and put everything high and more or less where i wanted. it's not like i was holding back too much for the shoulder's sake after i got warmed up. good sign. otherwise skills are rusty -- and as FP will tell you i was never a great player to begin with -- but my baseline is still much higher than anyone else who plays here. i love frisbee.

soooo fun. a little sore in the shoulders back and hamstrings from yoga but warmed up nice. shoulder prob 85-90%. we'll see how it does tomorrow. also fun discovery: i'm in good shape now. that is, recovery much quicker between points than i'm used to.

i'm gonna be sore tomorrow. will do a long and slow run.

- run 6.20 km in 29:07
4:41 pace. kicked a little at the end but not too hard. meant to do 7+ or 8 but got fucked up because they were blocking a road i run down because of VVIP travel. assholes.

- stretch

44.4 km in the last seven days. rest or maybe yoga/calisthenics tomorrow.

I feel like a Randy Moss quite here qualifies for LBJ.

"I play when I wanna play"

randy moss is one of my favorite athletes to watch, ever, in any sport. GOAT. and him saying this was a living argument for my hobby horse that criticizing super-elite athletes for not working harder is ludicrous. maybe he needed to smoke all that weed and take plays off to be the best or at worst second-best person to do his particular job in the history of that job, and if he'd worked harder or stayed clean he'd have burned out or got hurt or whatever.

morning

- run ~4 km in ??
struggled, mornings are hard. gotta reorient bedtime if i'm gonna start running in the morning before it gets hot out. forgot watch so not sure about time or exact distance but i did 4 km worth of laps at the track.

- stretch

will run again later.

EDIT: evening

- run 7.67 km in 36:53
4:48 pace. did not look at watch until the end. mostly kept it a shade above easy, picked it up to 4:05 or so for the last couple hundred meters just for funsies. slightly disappointed in the overall pace but that's okay.

- stretch

another note: the garmin forerunner 235 hr monitor is supposed to be unreliable, but it's interesting to look at the trendline on the run today: steadily up from 135 to 152 over the course of the run.

- interval workout
-- warm up run 2.00 km @ 4:53 pace
-- 500m x 7 @ [1:58, 1:56, 1:58, 1:58, 1:56, 1:58, 1:57], 1:00 walking rest
-- cool down run 1.76 km @ 5:40 pace (dead, calves especially right not into it, took a couple short walking breaks)
mental game. brain still bargaining with me to cut the number of intervals short but i did one more than last time. fuck you brain. total distance 8.09 km, total time 40:28.

- stretch

also this keeps me over 40 km for the last seven-day period.

also this puts me at 43.1 km for the week, so this marks a single-run distance PR and gives me a seven-day PR.

gz on the marathon PR of ~160 hours
