the dictionary argument doesn't work, that's the annoying thing. when we were in botswana she tried to convince me that adverbs only modify verbs, and not, say, adjectives. to her they should only modify verbs because adverb has the word "verb" in it. while that's a compelling explanation of how she reached her incorrect conclusion, it does not make her correct.

teh fuck.

the idea of having a personal definition for a word that is different -- narrower -- than the widely accepted definition of that word drives my pedantic self up the wall.

that'd piss me off too.. lol.

i had a similar thing with a librarian woman on FB, over the definition of meat, which she wasn't accepting.. but she's a librarian. she stopped talking to me over that. lmfao.

also, my dad doesn't like rap but he's definitely impressed with good rap/rappers. due to his music background, he notices skill that most people don't, that I can't even remember to mention here lol. i'm talking about rap itself though, not necessarily the beats. he doesn't care about the beats much, he's honing in on the actual rap & how they string words/verses together & rap to the beat with precision in ways that can get pretty complex. some rap beats are really solid too though, alot going on there, and even more legit from a "music purist" point of view when it's a live band.

also, he comes from a jazz background. his dad thought jazz wasn't music.. his dad was one of those "classical folks" (his generation).

i def get annoyed when people add their bias to it.. you don't have to like it, but you really have to acknowledge what it is, IMHO.

so i can see how you (LBSS) would get annoyed at that kind of "argument". lol.

mom & 2 daughters top3 OA'd the mile race last night.. that's really beast. faster women need to show up, but still.. that's crazy.

those times are all good. sub6 for a 13 year old female is def solid.

solid session for having the flu, lol. damn!

recover quick man!

Notes:
Got the GPS watch and tested it out with some 400m repeats on grass. I took Mutombo's advice and found a nice marked out park in my area. Fresh lines and all. Was a bit self conscious at first cos they were doing some kind of social function at the club which overlooks the field.

 My fastest one was at 4:03 pace which i struggled to maintain i must confess. I was actually feeling great until around 300m when i just hit a wall and slow down a lot.  Does this tell you guys im really unfit?? If i had done another 400m repeat, i would have done a total of 2km but i didn't realise that at the time. So if my goal is to run a sub 20 5k, then it's probably never going to happen considering i can barely maintain a 4 min pace for 400m lol. Did anyone think i was this badly out of shape? Any words of wisdom welcome!

one suggestion: for your harder efforts, run more by feel than by looking at the watch .. then look at the watch afterwards (at the end of the lap, or after the workout etc). use that feedback to tweak what you felt. if you look at your watch going fast, you're going to be alot less relaxed, run alot harder than you should, etc.. first put the distance in your head, that you are about to run, then take off but gradually, staying loose and just "going hard" but whatever "hard" is relative to that endpoint or lap distance you put in your head.

for slower runs, you can look at your watch right away. as long as it's relaxed, you can work on pacing etc by getting feedback from the watch.

so ya, don't get real-time feedback from your watch initially, unless it's just like a short stride or something (~50m) .. hard efforts w/ watch feedback, can be rough. have to get used to it.

you'll probably make some solid improvement over the next few months if you keep it up .. you might be surprised.

pc!
