as ever, i draw the training-conditions line at "active thunderstorm." it's been going on for 90 minutes, i'm wiped out, calling it.

fawk. :(

this book im reading says Zatopek (olympian) once ran in his tub for 2 hours, because he couldn't get a workout in (due to weather). not saying you should do that at all, just figured i'd mention it because some people are absolute psychos. I wouldn't do that... lol.

found somewhat of the story online:

Quote
Encouraged, he redoubled his efforts over the following winter. He would run at night, carrying a torch. He would strap weights to his feet and then go cycling. He would make a cut-price treadmill by putting a layer of wet clothes at the bottom of his bath and running on them, one part athlete, one part washing machine. He ran in heavy army boots and embraced rain, ice and snow. “There is a great advantage in training under unfavourable conditions,” he said. “It is better to train under bad conditions, for the difference is then a tremendous relief in a race.”

lol.

Due to irritating low back pains even though I don't have anterior pelvic tilt I have decided to do a lower back strengthening workout everyday, just the regular stretch and exercises.

I was playing tennis yesterday and it was difficult because of low back pain, not debilitating sore but irritating pain.

i.e.
cobra prone stretch
sole to sole of feet glute bridges
single leg glute bridge variant
superman/snow angel variant movement
superman arms at side variant

all 10 reps of 10 sec each movement.

prone alternating superman & high rep "safe" 45-deg back extensions (not "HYPER") were my goto's for back pain.

i've been contemplating getting a 45deg hyper again, in my mind, for like 6 months now..... ;/ really miss it.

You work extremely hard and have a lot of dedication. You are more of a loner type: you are clearly not doing this as a social thing. I think most people can't connect or understand that and they incorrectly deduce that you are doing it for recognition so they intentionally withold it from you.

that's an interesting perspective.

i mean if I perceived someone as doing something solely for recognition, i'd probably be careful not to over-supply it. I'd def give credit where credit is due though. So I guess if someone had that perception of me, could make sense. I'd be surprised if *alot* of people had that perception of me though.. i'm pretty much a ghost who shows up to races and tries to beat everyone - LMAO.

Quote
And people also dislike what is outside their understanding, making them less likely to try to connect with or reward you for your efforts.

That's been a somewhat common theme. I mean, throughout my life, people always think i'm "mysterious" (irl, work, school etc). I'm really not, i'm very open/transparent about things hah. I mean this forum as an example, some of my social media accounts. I don't go do "social things" though, for the most part. If I do, it's me dragging myself to do it, almost like a be-normal exercise.

def a loner type. I usually get "derailed" a bit when I stop embracing it.

Quote
Just keep doing you man.

of course. hah!

ya i'm good. love being a ghost. just need to win more, because winning is fun! hah.

So with the people and their selective reasoning to give certain people shout outs. This creates something known as (or maybe I just made it up now) psychological clash. Some one who runs to become good and get recognition to boost their morale and continue to thrive off this, but if they never get that recognition it can lower their morale and then their reasoning will be something completely different, "They don't like me" so the result dislike for that person and he stops competiting or "That guy is racist he is praising a white guy but not me" and then you have result of that thinking.

These whispers or suggestions we get because of someone's action can be very dangerous for certain people. But the person who made that shout out for one person is not aware of the other people's thought, something similar to out of sight out of mind then nothing to ponder over, some are aware and they could have certain reasons for not liking but stereotypes cannot be made for everyone. who knows when we race and beat someone, it could cause a suggestion in that losers mind to hate the winners or maybe cause him to work harder, same as a person who doesn't get noticed ever works hard to get the recognition like in boxing knock the guy out to force the recognition and take control out of the judges.

wow that turned quite dark  :ninja:, but all I am saying is different people, different thought process and therefore different decisions not aware of the result of certain actions as they are not psychic.

Side note: this can lead to depression for some people or social anxiety as they feel they are being left out or evaded and so on and on, power of the mind.

I will stop here.

Some good quotes of the power of the mind.

“The mind is everything. What you think you become.” Buddha

“If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought.” Anonymous

“When you become the master of your mind, you are master of everything.”

"The empires of the future are the empires of the mind. Winston Churchill"

good stuff.

specific to what caused me to post that little rant, I just don't get the psychology of it. Those 2 guys & myself, are probably the only ones who "doubled" that day. They walked, cool. I raced, cool. They got a special mention for whatever reason, I didn't. Again, wasn't expecting a shoutout to *anyone*, but once I saw that, I found it a bit odd. I actually know the guy who times that event, the account that posted that message/photo (which he manages). We are pretty cool, he's a great guy. For the second race, I saw him and came over to give him a handshake and he said "long time no see!" (eluding to seeing me in the first race).

Anyway, i'm fine being a ghost.

ghost or not tho, def found it odd.

^^ ya

lightweight running shoes, mostly running on grass/dirt, ftw. best of both worlds.

not a fan of barefoot myself, too risky. and thin soled vibram shoes don't help much, easy to get injured clipping a rock or nail/thorn etc.

i love my XC flats. such rugged, yet light/minimalist shoes. My last 2 pair of Saucony Shay xc4's have ~800 miles on them each... going to be a sad day when I have to retire them. :/

just way too risky to do a 5k tmw. quads too tight/sore. they definitely improved quite a bit but still not 100%.

maybe there's a race this weekend, dno yet. don't think there is but we'll see.

Really sad about Japan yesterday blowing that 2-0 lead. They were just playing wonderful and continued to attack and take risks. My Europhile self was angry that they didn't sit back, defend the lead and slow the pace of play. After watching Sweden win with their boring and pragmatic style of play I took much greater appreciation for the show they put on. They stuck with their own style and really gave the world a memorable game. Also, there's no telling that they won't inspire the next generation to continue to further that style and be successful down the road.

ya, I like watching Japan, they bring it.

Japan seems to really go hard, in whatever sport they do. I mean i'm very interested in their running culture, they have faster half/full marathoners than the US. They risk alot.

I don't mind boring styles tho, whatever wins, as long as it's not cheating. I mean, i'm a Floyd Jr fan.. king of "boring styles" by most accounts :d

also, I think Rondo is a PERFECT fit with LEBRON. That was a very slick move.

They need a nice backup PG now..

at first glance, Cousins doesn't seem like a good fit for GSW .. but, GSW being in the West, they're already one of the "tough teams", with Draymond etc.. Now with Cousins, more bruising. Seems like an elite West AND elite East team now. kinda nuts.

hoping Cousins is healthy.

just want to see the West go nuclear.. seems like it's a nuclear arms race in the West. this is fun shit. LMAO.

btw.. Lonzo won't last in LA. I expect he'll be gone soon tbh.. His dad is just too much for LEBRON.

Notes:
So ive been talking to a girl for about a week. She is gorgeous, smart, funny and seems into me as well. She wants to talk on the phone (we've spoken once for about an hour but that's not enough for her) but my mind is mush from the daily 24 hour fasts and long cut ive been on. Told her to wait til sunday but she's getting impatient and thinks i'm strange. Was thinking of extending the cut a bit longer til the DEXA scan. Not sure. My mind isn't that clear..

Dude talk to the girl. Eat carbs if you need to. Get some pre-workout into you if required. There are more important things in life than cutting fat and a "gorgeous, smart, funny and seems into me as well" girl is one of those things.

x2. carb up.

and next post, metabolism is starting to tank. ;/

Workout

Run -- 4.66mi in 41:33 [8:54 pace]

w/ same pal

Notes

Took two days off as hip feeling a little bit tight. Not pain, so it's good, just being careful.

The pal my last few runs have been with is staying with me for a couple more days, so I'll be back to solo runs soon. Looking forward to getting back into solo runs again though, haha. I like running with people as a change, but it doesn't suit me as the primary way to train.

Shall also start throwing in strides in the second half of these runs.

hah.  :highfive:

solo running ftw.

After this morning's run, decided to not sign up for the Weston July 4th 5k!

Should be a fast race, wanted to really push it there and beat some folks, but... AERS AELS AETS AE*S squad. Legs (quads) just too "toast" to risk pushing the limit on.

Not too many races in July/August, so really wanted to get that one in. My 800m bro linked me to a possible track meet on July 14th though, about to look into that!

Also, in the context of recent discussions, my 800m friend seems to not fit that weird-mode that we were talking about, not one bit. This dude is legit. You beat him he doesn't go run off crying/ignoring you etc, he tells you when the next race/meet is that he's going to and goes "C'MON MAN LETS GO!!" .. Love that mentality. That's why he's almost sub2:00 for the 800m @ 50 years old......... lmao. BEAST. AS. FU*K. :ninja:
