happy to get a gift basket again after last year's debacle (stomach death)

heart rate still high as fu*k in 5k's lately.

this is such a huge local race lmao. like 2k+ people.









i didn't look at my watch at all.. which was surprising given the last two splits being EXACT. I thought I was going faster than I was though because of what it said at the 2 mile marker.

all good though.. just glad i didn't have a train wreck race. first time that's happened at this race. every other year has been a debacle.. i think because i put too much thought it - it being my "home town" race & such.

anyway, happy how i ran tbh.. went out with the leaders but just didn't feel the best, so found a slower gear at ~5:52 min/mi (without looking at my watch) and just held it.


went to a brazilian steakhouse later and ate so much food.. the desert really did me in: brazilian cheesecake + 3 scoops of ice cream.

just making sure to post this from yesterday:

got me a gift basket today (3 out of 4 years i've done it) at this tamarac turkey trot.

that's not why i'm posting tho.

i'm posting because this popcorn was so damn good (cony island classics, sweet & sea salty kettle corn):



and these tostones chips are damn good as well (samai tostones chips, lime):




lmao.. tearing this gift basket up. some really good stuff in there.

I read Robert Kiyosaki's book 'Why the Rich are Getting Richer'. If any of you have read Rich Dad Poor Dad you'll find that Kiyosaki tends to ramble and embellishes a lot of stories about his 'rich dad'. The gist of Why the Rich are Getting Richer is because instead of focusing on income, the rich are focusing on growing their asset base, which unlike income from a job is taxed at a much lower rate. For example if you earn 70k from a job you'll pay 14k in tax so you're left with 56k. However, if you invest in a house and it realises a capital gain of 70k in one year no tax is paid and the house also provides rental income. The capital gain of the house can then be leveraged to purchase more assets. He basically says that the poor/middle class are too busy focusing on income and consuming instead of working on accumulating assets.

The controversial part of the book is that Kiyosaki believes the approach used in "The Millionaire Next Door" of living below your means and setting aside 10% of your income for investment in stocks is now redundant. He frequently mentions that savers are losers and advocates for taking on large amounts of debt using Donald Trump as an example of master of debt.

good summary! sounds like an interesting read.

rant-tangent: lol @ taking on lots of debt tho like "trump". how do we also take on hundreds of millions of dollars from our fathers? I dno I just think he's an awful example of pretty much anything. For the most part, I just personally hate "silverspoon" examples if we're also talking about poor/middle class in the same breath.

lmao.

pc!

Low motivation atm.

Exercise Bike-
150 calories.

Squat-
60x5
90x5x3

Not doing much. Achilles has gotten better. Not getting out of bed sore everyday, which is good. Sometimes just the little things like walking around pain free are blessings.

^^ that sounds pretty motivating tho IMHO

one quote i really loved from an elite runner I know of, "be gentle with yourself". that def stuck with me.. was basically saying, it's fine not to beat yourself up, let the fitness/progress come slowly, safely, etc.

today:

still beat up from that fall a few nights ago, but getting better: right hip, shoulder, knee, hip flexor
