yesterday

- warm up

- climb x ~90 mins
joined a friend who is better than me. i'm out of climbing shape for sure - hands soft and weak - but still had fun and surprised myself a bit. elbows a bit sore, need to be careful.

this morning

- run 48:09, 8.20 km

100%, i haven't even been able to bring myself to look at the life/business coaching stuff. turbo cringe as a category, and i'm happy to take your word for it that he's no exception.

also, i'm a little weirded out by the room he records in, which has nothing in the background except beige walls. no art, not even shitty art or a motivational poster, no plants, nothing. baffling.

really nice day, ran up to a bouldering spot with a friend and a few other friends met us there with some gear.

- outdoor bouldering x ~2 hours
didn't do that much climbing, in the end, but it was fun to be outside. the grades definitely seemed sandbagged, hardest thing i did was V2 and would have been graded harder in the gym. also quite a bit scarier than in the gym, where you can at least see what every hold is supposed to be and the whole floor is bouncy. pads move around and they aren't that big.

ETA: also, i just discovered steve magness's youtube videos and i haven't been this excited about an online exercise nerd since i found lyle mcdonald 15+ years ago.

thanks man. everything is properly borked, though.

last night

- climb x 60-75 mins
it'd been several weeks, so i just worked my way methodically through almost all the yellows, reds, and greens (easiest three levels) in the gym. felt okay, ribs still sore but not painful.

it is from trump 2.0, plus co-president elon, who decided in his infinitely arrogant stupidity to try to destroy my industry. miraculously, i did keep my job (for now). back home from my trip and first day back at work today, seems like everything is pretty much in chaos.

sunday-wednesday last week

- ski 4-6 hours per day

friday

- run x ~5 miles

sunday

- run x ~5 miles

ribs still not fully healed but they feel okay. just lingering soreness, which wasn't helped by descending all the hilariously steep SF/oakland hills. i always forget how nutty the streets are there. skiing was an absolute blast.

thanks, looking good as of today but fingers crossed!

- dreadmill hill walk x 30 mins + 6 mins very slow running + some more walking
run did not hurt but took it very slow (12 min/mile pace).

- stretch

found out yesterday that i am 95% likely to get furloughed (i.e., placed on leave without pay) on february 14. there's a 3% chance that i keep my full-time post and a 2% chance that my position is terminated altogether. deep breaths.

ribs continue to improve: they are now just sore, no acute pain. really, really glad that they're healing in time for my ski trip, which starts this weekend! i'm not going to run before then, just in the interest of not pushing my luck with recovery. will do some walking today, probably outside as i'm taking a sick day and so will have time during the day for it.

yesterday

- dreadmill hill walk x 40 mins
found a way to make the hills steeper, which was good

- stairmaster x 10 mins

ribs a bit better yesterday and today, less acute pain and more soreness/stiffness. there's also knock-on soreness in my left mid back, but that also seems less severe this morning.
