T+DI of 160 is gnarly. if you stay consistent though think of how easy everything will feel when the summer's over.

- run 30:00, 6.04 km
lovely evening. better than nothing. legs weirdly fried, especially quads. this is what detraining looks like!
- stretch
continuing to be distracted by work and dating and friends and guitar.

- run 49:44, 9.45 km
glutes and quads sore! not beastly hot today but pretty humid and 91 feet/mile of climbing. that plus this being my first run in like two weeks means nice and slow, 5:16 average pace.
- stretch
perfunctory because i was running late for something else. may do some more later.
can't remember the last time i was properly sore. definitely a good call to start doing a bit of strength work again. mixed stimulus good. thought about adarq and his lunge-based bionic (TM) legs.

nothing for more than a week. am kind of sick of running, the transition back to summer heat + humidity sucks so much. i think i'm due for a period of just training as the mood strikes. not that i was training particularly hard or consistently before, or progressing, but that's part of the problem: when i've got a goal and am not being consistent about going for it, i end up in a negative motivation feedback loop. so it's not a physical break i need but a mental one. also i've just been more motivated to play guitar than anything else recently, and that's joyful and great. training for a sub-19 5k will return, i predict.
my apartment building has a little gym in it so i figured i'd check it out today. went on a date the other night with a woman i'll see again, made me want to do some beach work, lol.
- jump rope x ~5 mins
ceiling very low. also the rope i have is quite short, complicates crossovers. also i'm quite out of practice, obviously.
- GMB full body warm up
- superset x 2
-- 45 degree hyper x 12
-- DB row 50 x 8/arm
- superset x 2
-- pallof press 30 x 10; 25 x 10
-- DB bench 40s x 10
-- BSS x 10
- DB curl 20s x 10
- cable tricep pressdown ? x 10
- DB shrug 50s x 10
- jump rope x 100

- push up x 25
- pull up x 5,5,5,5,5
lower legs still pretty sore. did wake up early this morning, which is good, but decided to rest an extra day. hiking is a different kind of stimulus.

sunday
- hike ~11 miles
neels gap to cooper gap. absolutely stunning. lower legs a little sore.

- run 1:29:18, 15.33 km
first day running when it was over 90. ended up doing a lot of climbing as well, around 70 feet/mile. combination: struggle bus. or to look at it differently, forced slow pace (5:50), which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
