distance PR for the second workout in a row. will drop back down to 6 km for the next run. these longer runs are starting to bug my knees a bit. distance seems to be the main factor. def gotta get new shoes when i'm home for the holidays, i'm running in my ancient mizuno wave mushas. still very comfortable and light and stuff but i think for longer runs it's time to invest in a new pair.

she's six. six year olds still don't have all their gross motor skills developed. relax. you should probably not "coach" her AT ALL. let her play, clamber on things, make up obstacle courses, play catch, play around with a basketball, play soccer, do whatever. worry about form muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch later.

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.

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.

scoob that video is some inspiring shit. keep getting after it. like jumperer said, looking smooth.

bump rather than starting a new thread because this is cool but not THAT cool.

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.
