move to pakistan, it's fucking gorgeous here right now. mornings are mid-50s/12-13 degrees celsius, afternoons upper 70s/25 celsius. sunny 8-9/10 days and the one day it rains it cleans the air so beautifully.

my gf is angling to move back to the UK for grad school and i will follow her there and the weather is one thing i'm definitely not looking forward to.

^ why do they have to run on shorter track and have to worry about hitting a padded wall? im sure that does distract em slllllightly.

because they're inside.

cool, thanks. i've never been a swimmer so no idea what the training is like, but i periodically think about triathlons as a thing i could get into in the future so curious.

two of those guys came up injured, though. the combine is dumb. i mean, i love it. but it's dumb. most job interview processes are dumb.

- run/hike 8.6 km in 1:11:40
according to watch and my friend's phone this was about 400m of elevation gain, not 750m as the website said. nearly 300 of it was packed into 1.5 km, though. it also got super rocky, so we walked most of that distance. then very steep descent before it leveled off again. glutes felt the ascent, quads feeling the descent now, 90 minutes later.

edit: here's the mapmyrun depiction of the run. how's this for hill work?  :P

garmin short by ~450m. took 10 minutes again for the GPS to start. ~4:40 pace.

- stretch

this route is not good at night, the sidewalk is too busted up for running in the dark and people park in the shoulder so there's sometimes not enough clearance from traffic to be safe. it is hillier than my old route.

got invited for an early morning hill run/hike (when it gets really steep) tomorrow up and down the trail behind the faisal mosque. it's about 8.4 km round trip with about 750m/2500' elevation gain. must hydrate well today although it'll be nice and cool in the morning.

ETA: another complaint about garmin is that the garmin app and garmin connect online interface are both atrocious.

i wish. keep looking for something to run. the khunjerab pass marathon seems to be cancelled: the website is no longer there. glad i didn't put any money down on that. there was a 5k/10k/half/marathon in hunza a couple of years ago organized by samina baig (climbed everest at age 21, climbed the other six summits in eight months at age 23, first pakistani woman to do either of those things). need to find out if it's on again this year. if so then i should contrive to be there and compete.

thursday

- run 4.2 km in 19:54
felt drained, legs no pop. the garmin map of this is hilarious, apparently i can fly.

- stretch

friday and saturday

- move house, give self break from exercise because man moving sucks

today

- run 7.52 km (7.19 km on Garmin but i'm going with google maps on this one) in 35:17
slow start but got into the groove a bit and this ended up feeling nice. two circuits around the neighborhood. garmin took 10-15 minutes to pick up the signal and i'm gonna go ahead and trust google maps on this one. very disappointed in garmin and myself for not doing more research. it's weird, it felt like it was being pretty accurate at first but now i don't know. 330m is a pretty major difference. 4:41 pace for an easy run is okay.

when i was in college we had ultimate practice late at night in the winter because that's when we could get the indoor football field. one day i was hungry before practice so i scarfed down a grilled cheese sandwich and fries right before i left. only time i've ever puked from exercise. it was not pleasant.
