- run 2km (warm up)

- 5k race in 21:41 (chip timed)
went out way too fast and so watch splits were silly: 4:01, 4:13, 4:13, 4:33, 4:42. hot and humid. definitely was just hanging on for dear life for the last 2 km. still it was really fun and i'm not too mad about the time because i didn't go into this with any illusions, just wanted to treat it like a hard tempo run and that's what it ended up being.

got second in my age group (30-39) and sixth overall. gf finished second overall for women, in something like 23:11.

first race since i was living in london. very motivating. want to run under 20 again.

- run 1:27, 15.3 km
glorious day, warm but not hot or humid. sunny. and running in the park in DC in the summer means lots of shady trees.

did no exercise while in california. back on the horse tonight and it is SUMMER. it wasn't even that hot out but the humidity was way up there and i struggled.

- run 40:13, 7.22 km
5:34 pace! well, i guess it's time to re-adapt to T+DI running. on that note: T+DI 146 because the dew point is SEVENTY-TWO. jesus.

no! missed it. a couple of my colleagues had yogurt with their lunches but i didn't try it. next time.

just signed up for a 5k on june 26. goal will be <21 as i am not in very good shape. but gf just finished her first half (top 10% overall, men and women!) and is jazzed about racing so she talked me into signing up. can treat it as a gnarly tempo run. i won't get a workout in today, as i'm leaving and don't want to get on the plane with sweat-soaked clothes stinking up my bag. but will keep up the intervals and tempo over the next few weeks (and slow runs, of course) in hopes of being in some semblance of shape for the race.

need to start signing up for some races. starting to feel motivation coming back, although i've had little mini false starts here and the over the past year-plus. but man i don't know, i'm getting itchy. need a goal. need to get that discipline back. sub-19 can fall if i want it to. sub-12 two-miler. 5:00 mile. do an ultra.

right now, though, i need to go to bed.
