ACHES/INJURIES: knees after finishing
SORENESS: none
MENTAL STATE: good
- tennis x 1 hour
played with a buddy from ultimate, who's at about my level of fitness/athleticism but a bit more skilled. good partner. we rallied for most of the time and then played a set, which he won 6-3.
in consolation, i am more skilled than he is at ultimate.

dumb question: the coding you're doing, is it just for yourself right now? or are you doing some contract work? combo?

« on: February 09, 2017, 11:18:44 pm »will be doing a variety of exercises whenever i feel like it, without worrying about not wrecking my muscles for a scheduled lifting session. to a point anyway. like it makes no sense to avoid doing pushups or jump rope cos you have to squat or bench that day or the following day or what have you, it's just a recipe for mediocrity.
^^^ this. I'm beginning to think work capacity is king. Once you get over that initial adaptation period it will help you in the long run (that's what I keep telling myself anyway)
for real. i walked up a staircase today that ive gone up hundreds of times (maybe less tho lol) for the first time in a while and i felt unusually strong and stable. cross training has it's benefits. the sprints, weighted ones, etc, bball on hard court, treadmill work, i think it's made my joints stiffer. dont feel as beat up after a game now either!
right on.

^^^ yeah i prob will. taking a little break from being in touch with her at the moment, just to sort myself out. but i'll probably say hi tomorrow. i talked with my best friend about this last night and he made a super interesting point about patriarchy and misplaced need to control that helped me take a step back from myself. just need to give myself a bit more time to chill the f out and then i think i'll be cool.
just now:
- warm up
- ladder x 50,40,30,20,10
-- double under
-- lunge
-- push up /2
finished in 9:30. not the strictest push ups. all i had time for under the circumstances. it's been an intense week here.
- stretch

Hard to call it a breakup because we weren't really dating but the chick I've been seeing broke things off last night because, long story short, she's not over her ex. That's probably good in the long run, but at the moment it sucks.
1. being rejected is shitty
2. being rejected in favor of another dude she also rejected but still has feelings for is shittier
3. being rejected after making it clear that the only red line was that she be working on getting over the other dude, her agreeing to that, then getting all weird a few days ago and lying about why even when i asked point-blank about it, sleeping with her a couple of times but not having sex because of said weirdness -- is even shittier
Texted with my friend about it this morning (her night, she's in DC), and she pointed out that it's not personal, for her (the girl here) it's about herself and her feelings for this other guy and the fact that she likes me -- which she does -- is in the background. Also that if the girl is dealing with internal shit then it's way better to have a clean break than be ambiguous about shit. That's true, but still feeling hurt/pissed.
I'll get over it, just feeling a little bit emo today.
ETA: After cooling down a bit, and FB messaging with the chick, I had an epiphany. Namely, that I have been taking our relationship way too seriously. She's leaving the country for good in May, it's not like we have a future together. And she's cool and hot and fun in bed and she likes me and wants to have sex with me, too. Would be dumb to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Sure, it would be weird if she invites her ex to Pakistan for a week or goes back to Bahrain to sleep with him for a week. But if I'm also not monogamous with her then it'd be less weird. Letting my internal expectations/status-meter get way ahead of where we decided to be at -- and we'd talked about it several times -- was not good. Didn't quite realize how far ahead I'd gotten until she hit me with the "I'm not ready to be done romantically with ex" yesterday.
Still need a bit of time to get over the shock of having my quasi-unacknowledged feelings scrambled. Not gonna rush back into bed with her, even though she expressly told me her door's open. But I think getting over it can, if I want it to, mean that we're FWB. I think that'd be cool.
