14 year old chinese girl scores multiple perfect 10s, shatters olympic record in diving: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXg30_BgOEQ. as someone says in the comments, to a layman (like me) this looks amazing; to someone who knows even a little bit about diving, it's mission impossible. cool.

morning

- tennis w/dad x 45 mins
shaking off the rust. my hand is tired!

559
- run 42:07, 8.05 km
nice outside. T+DI 140. this is the route around me with the most climbing, just about 100 feet per mile, mainly because the second mile is one long steady uphill. did an out-and-back past the cathedral for the first time. 

- stretch

560
- run 45:41, 8.88 km
very lucky distance in china. T+DI 138, ran in a shirt comfortably for the first time in months. accidentally did a very steep and long hill in the middle.

- stretch

561
did no running at all last week. friends in town, nasty weather, wanted to play guitar instead. will recover discipline at some point, probably when the weather sucks less, but have decided not to beat myself up about it for now.

a propos of the weather, it was nice out today, still humid but not as hot as it's been. T+DI 154.

- run 1:30:46, 16.15 km
felt wonderful, very relaxed.

- stretch

EDIT: also, got my third tattoo yesterday, a cross-section of the bedrock underneath my parents' house, on the inside of my left bicep. looks great, i'm very happy with it.

NBC's coverage really has been inconsistent. like, i know timing is an issue and i know there are no crowds, but the 100m is the marquee event of the whole summer olympics and the video they posted of it online is the most perfunctory shit i've ever seen. shame.

this, meanwhile, rules so incredible hard:

- tempo: 3 km easy, 3 km in 12:44 [4:08, 4:22, 4:14], 3 km easy
first time pushing above easy pace in months. pretty hot and humid but not crazy, T+DI 155. didn't go too hard, felt good.

- stretch

566
- run 52:59, 10.44 km
same route as the other day, but elevation gain given as 99m vs 88m. mmkay. also HR average given as 171, which just doesn't seem possible despite the much quicker pace, because my breathing was normal. so perhaps the watch was having a fit today, who knows. much nicer day today, T+DI 140. still a ways away from ideal but it was easy to cruise along at 5:05.

567
air quality is really bad right now because of the west coast wildfires. we're supposed to get some storms this afternoon, which should clear things up. but not gonna run through this and risk developing a cough or hurting my lungs or whatever.

props to him, overcoming two straight years of playoff humiliation to earn the hell of his first championship and finals MVP. shades of jordan stat stuffing and showing crazy talent for a few years while getting bullied out of the playoffs by better teams before finally breaking through.

- run 10.42 km in 53:47
T+DI 154, pretty high but not crazy like the last few runs. felt much easier as well, kicked the last few hundred meters at sub-4:00 pace just because.

- stretch

still so damn humid that i'm drenched in sweat immediately after showering, even with the a/c on.

heat advisory out today, although it's the same T+DI as monday and actually feels okay in the shade, especially if there's a breeze. but walking back from the grocery store i got a sudden cramp in a weird spot right the top of my left calf, like maybe in the plantaris? popliteus? made my left shin feel weird right away as well. didn't last, but that plus severe thunderstorm watch the rest of this afternoon means no run.
