id just like to point out that, had i not been forced to slow down in this race, i wouldn't have witnessed the "blind wheelchair racer", who finished the entire half marathon with a guide (on bike) behind her, telling her small adjustments such as: "slight left", "stay straight" etc.
they passed me at mile 11 or so.. and my jaw literally dropped once i realized what was going on.
that's absolutely incredible. props to that lady (the wheelchair racer) and the guide.
i've never seen a "blind" athlete before.. always respect it so much when I see it on tv. i've only seen blind runners before, running with guides, and some of them can really fly.. it's remarkable.

yesterday:
abort-but-finished another race.
3 out of the last 3 races have been wrecked.
body felt really banged up afterwards.
post-race shower was insanely painful (nip/chafe wreckage).
03/23/2019
diet:
- ate light
- body felt ok pre-race. 5 hours sleep. sacral spine achy.
06:00 AM: race abort + slow long run /// the wheelchair racer was *blind*: a guide behind her told her how to adjust, it was incredible

- 6th OA @ 10km (with 4 pull-back miles)
- 42nd OA at the end
- lol.
left hamstring/glute/low back tweaked but not as bad as in the 5k 2 weeks ago, so some healing progress at least.
.
mile 1 was actually pretty decent. then stuff slowly started tightening up until i had to pull back at mile 3 or so. then around mile 9 had to shut it way down.
.
hard for me to actually care about my small injuries when this is a race for people battling cancer.
.
all good.
felt really good the first mile.. a miracle looked like a possibility.
a few really fast people showed up. one of them pulled his hamstring in the first quarter mile, sucks. watched him start falling apart and then shut it down and go to the ground and start stretching - DNF. I know the guy he's cool.

ZION. He picked it up. man he's such a beast.
Tacko picking up some lame fouls. He needs to relax. UCF is a different team with him in there, understandably. 7'6 wtf.

this TACKO (UCF) vs ZION (DUKE) game is living up to the hype.
UCF is a serious squad. Such a huge squad, makes Duke look tiny. Dawkins is having himself a crazy game too. Zion flustered a bit.
IOWA vs TENN was awesome too. what a come back. too bad they couldn't finish it off.

yeah this is some weak shit. It appears my top speed has suffered the least but my sprint repeatability is almost gone
it might come back quick though, ie if it's actually already there but just needs to be expressed a bit.

yo!
been slowly drifting up for a while now. so nah, not a big jump. but def heavy for me.
ya 147-149 in December probably. slow drift upwards. too many milkshakes
nope not on purpose. I eat alot but usually my activity negates it. I've put in a ton of activity this year so, not sure why it's drifting up so consistently. I actually feel kinda "fat" right now. I mean compared to kenya-darq (139) and boxing/dunking physique.
i stopped looking at the scale a while ago .. only recently did it just because i felt heavy and wanted to see. Maybe not looking at the scale helps creep the weight up.
also i feel like there was a weight-surge after I started lunging. glutes/thighs def got bigger, but so did fat areas.
I like not looking at the scale, even if it potentially has some weight-related drawbacks. It's just another thing I don't want to obsess about.
I'm pretty sure those 10k PR's, 12k PR, and 12k+5k (total) happened w/ a bodyweight over 150. So i've been running ok with some more bodyweight on me. My 5k PR is still when I was 139-141 though (i forget, but it was low).
pc!
157 is a big jump, no?

rest.
felt good today.
well.. tomorrow i have a half marathon race. odds aren't in my favor that i'll be able to race the whole thing.. but who knows. we'll find out shortly. 6 AM race with a blood orange moon out, so if my hamstring is feeling ok i should run fast. i still feel like i'm in great shape. don't think i've lost much fitness at all.
i came in 3rd last year with 1:21-ish. it was one of my favorite races. i love all coral springs race, it's basically my back yard.
anyway. it's a race for people battling cancer etc.. so how I end up racing it, isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things.
also: this week & last week's race I signed up for several months ago.. so, if my hamstring re-tweaks tmw, I don't have any races i've signed up for. I hope it doesn't tweak.. if it tweaks, i'm stopping immediately, no problem. If it doesn't tweak, i'm running hard. simple formula.

- sacral spine tender/achy (not as much as yesterday)
- legs felt really good all day
