Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: a fast and explosive donkey!
« on: August 12, 2016, 03:43:50 pm »
@t0ddday, there's a blood serology test that is apparently very unlikely to give false positives.
on prevalence: http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/86/10/07-046128/en/
so more like 1/6. apparently rates are higher in cities, which makes sense. i read somewhere else that DC has the second-highest rate of HSV in the US.
a chick i'd slept with before came over last night and we cooked dinner and chilled and watched the olympics, and then i told her. she was super cool about it although she didn't want to fuck until she'd had a check herself, because it got her thinking about STDs and the fact that she hadn't been checked since last year and by god she could have something and be putting me at risk without knowing it. i was a bit nervous to have the convo but it went way better than i thought. and she slept over and we hooked up anyway, just no sex. i think she'll be back for more once she goes to the doctor.

The estimated number of people aged 15–49 years who were living with HSV-2 worldwide in 2003 is 536 million, or roughly 16% of the world’s population in this age range. The prevalence is assumed to increase with age since infection is lifelong, and this is observed in the data.

just found out i have HSV. turns out promiscuity comes with risk, who knew! no symptoms, i went and got an STD test on monday and that's how i found out. last time i got tested, in late march, they didn't test for HSV so i got my clean sheet back and was like, great. could have gotten it before then, no way to know. but pretty sure it was in the past few months.
been reading a lot about it over the past couple hours, after my initial heart-falling-through-the-floor feeling. it turns out that the stigma around it is ridiculous. 1/5 of the people in the world have the type i have. 2/3 (!) have the other type. that's fucking common! also, it's really easy to get, like chickenpox and shingles, which it's related to. and even though it's incurable, it's actually not that bad for most people. the main bad thing that can happen is a woman getting an outbreak when she's late in pregnancy. but like i said, i'm asymptomatic; outbreaks are apparently unpleasant at worst for almost everyone who gets them and they get milder over time.
so i've gone from "FUCK" to "fuck" to "what does this mean?" to "oh, okay" in a few hours.
still, it does mean making some awkward phone calls, and a lifetime of having to talk about it with anyone i think i might be having sex with soon. i've only had unprotected sex with one person this year, but she's the one i'm most dreading talking to because she did NOT take it well when i broke things off with her a couple of weeks ago. on the other hand, she works in reproductive health so she's likeliest to understand what it actually means to have it. and anyway condoms don't reduce risk by that much.
on the plus side, i for sure don't have any other STDs. also knowing is better than not knowing. and it's good to learn about something that's so stigmatized for basically no reason.

undoubtable, the deadline thing isn't gonna work for me right now because, like t0ddday said, i'm moving to another country at some indeterminate point in the near future. plus i'll be at the beach for a week soon, friend getting married this weekend, etc. focus is hard at the moment. but it's a good idea in general, certainly helped me earlier this year.
FP i appreciate the point about needing to shift focus to another goal for a little while. you're right about that. but i think t0ddday's idea makes more sense, to pick an athletic movement or two and work on improving them while still jumping.
it is nice out and i've been enjoying going to the track with my mom so to start i think i will work on DL bounds (for max distance) and SL bounds (for proficiency, i'm terrible at them). t0ddday does that make sense to you? or maybe DL bounds and 60m sprints? part of me wants to do longer sprints (e.g. 300) but they take a lot out of me.
something like this:
sunday
- DLRVJ
- bounds and sprints
monday
- various jumps
tuesday
- bounds and sprints
wednesday
- squats and RDLs
- upper weights
thursday
- various jumps
friday
- rest
saturday
- easy DLRVJ
- easy various jumps

no, but he's by far the most knowledgeable person on the board about sprints. just listen to what he says and don't take it personally.

26 days until Michigan's defense rips Hawaii's still-beating heart of its chest and eats it raw. The D was so nasty last year until Glasgow went down. We're going to be even better this year.
I just watched this video and got so hyped at my desk I started breathing audibly.
