i'm at the beach in north carolina with my parents, my brother, his fiance, my gf, and my parents' respective best friends. it's great. super active, weather is perfect, surf has been excellent. it's really nice to be here in september, when it's still hot but not brutal and everything is even less crowded than usual (the beach we go to is a little out of the way so never THAT crowded).

Easy run 8K @ 46:59 (5:52 pace)
More or less same with last week. I thought i was slow but when i finished i realized i just went too easy, i wasn't tired at all.
Need to start actively pushing a bit more, time is running out, only 30 days left for the half marathon.
you gotta start bumping the distances up. 21 km is reeeeally different from 8 km.
another suggestion: start practicing eating a little bit during longer runs.

tried to run this morning but achilles felt "thick" (no better word comes to mind) after a few hundred meters. last night felt absolutely normal. i think morning running is just not a thing for me. this is irritating.

just to stretch the legs, pleased with myself for making it out the door at all. work is a bit nuts this week because i'm going on vacation next week. plus i'm re-starting guitar lessons tonight.
my leg *still* has a rash on it.

thursday
- run ~5 km
gf whacked the everloving shit out of her elbow partway through. ended up taking her to urgent care. x-rays negative but they said there might be a hairline fracture they missed. not our week! sheesh.
spent the weekend on martha's vineyard at my cousin's wedding (and, mostly, driving to and from there. it's a long haul).

stung by a bee a bit less than 1 km from home. i am allergic, although i didn't know quite how badly i'd react since it'd been a long time. ended up needing to jab myself with an epipen and then spend four hours in the ER. anaphylaxis is not a pleasant experience, all around. would not recommend.

Still keeping it slow and simple...... Body feels good, and I am slightly motivated so that's a win!

very satisfying to improvise a route that is that close to a perfectly round distance. achilles was a bit stiff in the morning but felt 100% by lunchtime and throughout this run.
have covered 32.8 km in six runs over the past seven days, per watch. registered for a 5k on 12 november, so i have something to work toward. that's 10 weeks out. plan will be:
1. add mileage conservatively both per-run and weekly, running frequently but not long. i think the long run with gf the other weekend was what irritated my achilles. goal weekly mileage is 55 km.
2. continue goofing off a little with the new weights just to re-accustom myself to using them and add some cross-training.
3. in a couple of weeks, if my achilles is still okay, start doing one day a week of speed, tempo, or hills. if i can make myself get up early enough on wednesdays to run with the group that trains at the high school in my neighborhood, i'll do that.
