fwiw the most effective use of the vest for me was in peaking, to wear it around all day for a week, including workouts, and into warm ups on the day i wanted to peak. then take it off and jump. best jumps came under those conditions.

- run 7.54 km in 36:51
- stretch
distance PR. first 5+ km on track and then from track to home is downhill so pace was 4:54 despite again deliberately not pushing. both knees a little achey, especially right. no run tomorrow but may go for a hike in the hills because it's a holiday. mawlid al-nabi mubarak, seifullaah and any other muslims on here. speaking of which, where's dreyth?
EDIT: also, total for the seven-day stretch from saturday-friday is now 28.9 km, which means i've met the process goal of building up to 25 km per week before christmas.

therapy is good. if i lived in a place with good therapists (or any therapists), i would be in therapy.
She was the one throwing bottles and chairs at me!!!
The chair I threw into the ceiling was in retaliation.
therapy is for everyone. that wasn't meant only for you. my best friend and his then-gf were having issues a few years ago - not violent ones like you're talking about but still seriously challenging their relationship - and they decided to go to therapy together. it saved their relationship and now they're happily married and still, less frequently, going to therapy just to check in.

morning
- run 6.14 km in 31:48
5:10 pace the result of deliberately keeping it slow and relaxed given that this was less than 12 hours after last night's intervals.
- stretch
need to start bumping up daily mileage now. body feels good.

- warm up x 1 km
- sprint drills
- interval run 500m x 5 in 1:47, 1:53, 1:54, 1:57, 1:54
fifth was tough. could have done a sixth but injury avoidance is paramount. patience.
- cool down x 500m

saw my friend naveed last weekend. he's in town for a week or so to rest on his hike from the afghan border to the wagah border crossing near lahore, with this guy: https://www.nationalgeographic.org/projects/out-of-eden-walk/. he's also previously hiked from the khunjerab pass to gwadar, the whole length of pakistan. former marine and then BBC reporter who was one of the first people on the scene after the peshawar army school attack a few years ago where more than 100 kids were killed. intense guy.
and apparently, he's working with a few people here to organize a triathlon in upper hunza next fall. he said ironman but they won't get a single entrant if they try to do the full distance. that shit is hard enough at sea level, let alone 8,000+ feet up.
but y'all. a triathlon in hunza would be out of fucking control.
there's no way i can do it next year. first of all i'd have to get a lot better at swimming, and buy a bike. and then get better at swimming and biking. but if it goes well this year and they do another one then by god add it to the bucket list.

- run 4km in 18:36
- stretch
late start because gf decided at the last minute she wanted to come to the track as well. wasn't feeling great this morning in any case. but ~4:40 is a very sustainable track pace now, which is good.
ETA: also, shoulder feels none the worse for wear after saturday's experiment. it's not healed but it's not worse. will continue adding upper stuff back in cautiously.
EDIT: evening
- GMB warm up
- tiger tail calves and soleus
- pistol work x a little bit
got two clean on left leg, right leg and rest of left were top-to-bottom with a rock back.
- front levers x a couple
- KB rows x 14/arm
- band pull aparts x 10
just to do something. easing back in.

facebook is blocked here right now because the army and police are fighting thousands of protestors in the streets and they don't want them to be able to communicate with anyone. so i'm resurrecting this thread to say:
god fucking damn it.
