last night:

- stretch
tired, only slept 2.5 hours on sunday night, then flew to canada and had 8 straight hours of meetings, no break. managed to force myself to stretch a bit, which was wise.

this morning:

- row x 5:00

- TGU x 2,2/side

- mobility stuff

- stretch

just to get the juices flowing a little. felt good.

- daily routine-ish

worked out with my mom today, last time i'll have a chance to do that before moving. she cried partway through, so we took a break and talked about shit. life has been really, really stressful for her recently -- my brother moving back to our town and still just being the double-handful he always is, plus now my grandmother has gotten really sick, is in the hospital, and probably can't move back into her apartment for a while because she clearly can't take care of herself right now. and of course, me moving away is hard for her; she'll miss me a lot and i've been physically close for a long time.

i have more reflections about this but they'll have to wait. gotta get some dinner together.

damn that is rough :/

as long as my mom is alive, i'm definitely too weak to do what you're doing (moving out of the country).

don't know why that would be weakness. just different priorities. tbh i sometimes wish i didn't have such a powerful drive to move abroad. i'd probably be married to a woman i love and happily working and doing community activism in a city i really like. that said, i'm pumped to finally be fulfilling this dream that i've had for so many years. it's going to be a crazy ride.

not gonna work out today. too much to do. planning to catch a workout with my friend in london. she's an oly lifter i know from my old gym, moved to london to write for nature magazine a couple years ago. and i'll stretch and prob do some calisthenics in canada. but otherwise i'm in the air 5 out of the next 6 days and working nonstop when i'm on the ground, so not sure how much energy or motivation i'll have.

monday: fly to ottawa
tuesday: fly to london
wednesday: arrive in london
friday: fly to islamabad
saturday: arrive in islamabad

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: sick; right hand by first knuckle of pinky and ring fingers, shins
MENTAL STATE: sick

came down with a cold over the last two days. did not sleep well in NYC (very uncomfortable beds at the two places i crashed). haven't been sleeping well at all recently, in general. baseline anxiety is up, i guess, which makes sense given that i'm moving 7,000 miles away on monday. mentally i feel fine but my body is telling me otherwise.

Leonel it's totally possible that protein helps him with satiety, so even if he's pissing a lot of it out (he is), if it's a short-term surge he's probably not damaging his kidneys.

Still, entropy, you should double-check protein levels with your doc the next time you go for a checkup, if you want to continue eating that much per day.

The team i "support" just completed a huge transfer yesterday, Dante Amaral. He is at the dawntwilight of his career now but i read he is arguably one of the best volleyball players of all time?
Will definitely go see some games this year, just for witnessing a legend play, heh.

unless today is opposite day  :-*

at least you're not in haiti.

Mate it's all 1st world problems here. We've got nothing on the rest of the world when if comes to natural disasters.

not to say it doesn't suck when a huge storm hits, though! best way to deal with it is to be like this guy: https://www.facebook.com/lane.pittman/videos/vb.542376723/10153984485731724/?type=2&theater.

yesterday:

- tennis x 1 hour
was windy as hell. ball doing funny things on the toss-level windy. so it was a sloppy session, but still fun and worked up a little sweat.

combination of post-party sluggishness and wanting to maximize time with my family before i leave in one week (!) meant no gym.

so as to cut off the acole thread hijack: i think you should email the >35 track and field group. if you explain that you're an amateur/noob and are having difficulty finding training partners and competitions, they might let you come by and train anyway. i mean, you're canadian, y'all are nice. worst case scenario, they send a polite "no."
