what's your whole home setup now? seems like you're putting together a good bunch of gear.

sunday felt slightly off all day, turns out it was a migraine halo. took some sumatriptan in time to head off the worst of it but still, running was nnnnnot happening. felt crappy again yesterday and just decided to rest.
- run 10.09 km in 50:55
pacing all over the place but averaging 5:03 is okay.
- push ups x 16
- KB upright row x 16
- stretch

cavs' offense brought to mind the famous "clogged-toilet" offense of the randy wittman-era wizards, except lebron is an order of magnitude more transcendent a player/plunger than john wall.
i did not have a dog in the fight between cavs and pacers but it'll be nice to get to watch lebron keep playing. he's the GOAT.

ah right, forgotten you'd already gone sub-5.
have already said this in my journal but once i'm through with the races on my trip i think i'm going to spend more time doing hard lactate threshold and speed stuff. keep the easy days easy but make the hard days harder. i'm pretty weak mentally by my own estimation and part of that is just not, as you say, ingraining the feeling of being uncomfortable and pushing the pace for extended periods.

Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: Low Protein Diet and Muscle/Strength maintenance
« on: April 26, 2018, 01:19:14 pm »No not at all, not worried about my health or anything like that, in fact I'm probably eating healthier than I usually do. Just I'm certain I'll get weaker and lose mass over the next few weeks and want to think how I can minimise this.
I'm doing a 4 week medical elective in the big teaching hospital in Kathmandu then off to do Everest base camp via Gokyo.
a month isn't that long. i wouldn't sweat it too much. do some bodyweight exercises or find a gym and lift while you're in kathmandu and you'll be fine. whatever you lose will come back. i haven't lifted in like a year and my measurements are almost the same as they were at the end of 2016.

yesterday worked from 8 until midnight, including a dinner thing at the german ambassador's house and then bonding time with colleagues. drank a lot but somehow managed to avoid (1) getting very drunk and (2) having a hangover. so high-five for that. it was worth it, it's important to take opportunities to connect with people outside of work. plus the club was hilarious, tajikistan is a strange country.
today i've been working since 8:30 and have another dinner tonight. so no run until tomorrow morning, when i think i will scrap any thought of doing a "workout" on the treadmill and just do some good old jogging for an hour or something. can't wait to get back to islamabad.
also, a propos of poetry, at the hotel here they always leave a little piece of paper with a bit of persian poetry on it on your pillow after they make up the room. usually it's something by rumi or ferdowsi in standard translation, i.e. professionally translated by an english-language poet. today it was not that. to wit:
i'm sure the persian is lovely but...wow.

eggs? pulses (other than lentils, which you already mentioned)? yogurt (sometimes cheaper than pasteurized milk in developing countries)?
how much would you say you're getting?

i guess i meant more in the women's race, which saw two women gun for the record and then fade badly. the top men seem to have handled it well, you're right. fast times, even if not WR. wonder what that's about.

brooks hyperion is a racing flat, no? you know you love lightweight shoes when 6.4 ounces is "heavier" than what you're used to!
