- run 5.05km in 26:05
verrry easy. air quality is very bad at the moment. right hamstring fine, left hamstring oddly a little tight for a kilometer or so in the middle but nbd, went away.

i didn't set out to push myself -- actually, i hadn't even decided on a distance until a couple of laps in. i looked at my phone for the first time around the 2.5km mark and noticed that i'd just passed 11:30, i.e. running just over 22:00 pace. at that point i figured i might as well keep up the pace as best i could through 5km and see how it went.

could have pushed harder but it would have been draining and i don't want to drain myself yet. still building up strength. patience.

no run yesterday because of worries about tightness in hamstring. leg feels great today though so may run later this afternoon before going to my first (FINALLY) pakistani wedding.

big ups on finishing in the 99.998th percentile on strava! that is dope.

the lady that won the month ran almost 100km a day!  :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X thought that must be a lie but clicked through and apparently she's running from SF to NYC. so kind of checks out. the cynic in me is still skeptical though.

- run 5.00km in 23:12
didn't mean for this to be a goal attempt but got close anyway. died a little on last two laps but if i'd pushed harder i could have gotten under 23:00 a month ahead of schedule.

- walk 0.5km

- stretch

some very mild tightness in right hamstring. something to monitor, no hard runs for at least a few days. and i'm gonna see if my gf can pick up a foam roller while she's out doing errands today.

will either do a long easy run this weekend or a longer hike.

He continues to dominate inside the paint, where he’s averaging 23.7 points per game on 75 percent shooting. By comparison, when Shaquille O’Neal won the MVP award in 1999-00 while leading the league in scoring, he averaged 22.5 points in the paint per game on 61 percent shooting in that area.

Giannis is Shaq now. He’s a seven-foot-tall point guard who is Shaq.

yeah vag, that's the good stuff. only got to spend a few hours there earlier this year, on the way back to budapest from istria. would like to go back. or, you know, figure out a way to live there for a while.

adarq look at the last post you made in this thread with a picture in it.

still felt like shit yesterday evening so bagged the run. gf's neighbor's goddamn rooster woke me up in the middle of the night, first time that's happened in a while.

- run 6.51km in 33:50
lost ~1.5-2 minutes to road crossings. need to try to keep pushing start time a bit earlier so i can avoid the school rush; having to stop dead sucks. still, 5:11 pace is an improvement for a mostly road run where i was deliberately not pushing.

- stretch

ETA: hit 5k today in 25:54, which if you take away the road crossings is definitely sub-25. something else to track on longer runs.

happened to michigan's left tackle, grant newsome, early last year. doctors saved his leg and he may yet play again, but he's still recovering now more than a year later and won't be ready to play until next year at the earliest.

terrifying.

thing i noticed in your running vids/pics that may be neither here nor there: you hold your chin quite far up/forward, and the back of your neck is really short. wonder what difference it'd make to cue yourself to run taller. personally if i cue myself straighten my neck out, or think "giant pulling a string up through the crown of my skull," my shoulders relax back automatically and my posture improves. i think, although should get vid to verify, that the reverse is also true: the relaxed shoulders cue i give myself while running straightens out my neck.
