progress update of a different kind:

still kind of suck at that song but damned if i can't play it all the way through now. i've done it better than that plenty of times but turning the camera on makes me nervous! my heart was beating hard toward the end, lol.

27 february

- run 1:05:17, 11.52 km
bit slow cause i went with a woman i've been dating. she's pretty fit: this was a hilly route and we averaged 5:47/km (i kicked a little after she dropped off at her building). i'd wager that's faster and farther than the vast majority of women runners.

trying not to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. i'm very goal-oriented so it's hard to keep motivation once i feel like i'm falling away from the level i should be training at to reach my goal. but that's a trap that leads to "well, fuck it then." it's better to do a little bit than none at all, and when i'm in a place again where i can push toward the goal i won't be as out of shape. plus exercise makes me feel good.

tonight

the best run in months. felt incredible. perfect conditions. this route is an out and back that's basically up and then down. biggest elevation gain of any route i do around here. just under 5:00 pace and i was cruising.

YAY!!!! Establish annual skwad ski meeting ASAP, it will rotate continent bi-yearly, kickstart February 2023 in Trois Valeess ,  then February 2024 in Aspen and so on (daydreaming)


not even joking, let's do it. but not aspen. i've never skied out west but if i were going to, i'd pick a place like sun valley or big sky, somewhere a little less expensive and crowded.

overcommitted at the moment. two volunteering things, work has been very busy, trying to find time to keep improving at guitar, see friends, go on dates, etc. etc. etc. etc. need to rebalance.

beautiful day, probably 40 degrees and sunny. wore a hoodie but didn't need it. i'm out of shape.

12 February

5 and a half hours of skiing!!!  :wowthatwasnutswtf: :headbang:

It's been 2 years. Was rusty as f@ck of course, barely got to a decent form at the end of the day.
Still, what a glorious thing skiing is, a very enjoyable sport in a magnificent nature surrounding.
This totally ruined my weekly run-training plan ( no low aerobic run and no HIIT run ). Don't care , totally worth it, skiing makes me so happy! ;D

skiing weekend was a big success. it was a little warm on saturday (35/2 degrees) but still fun and then it snowed all saturday night and sunday morning and the temp dropped to like 20/-7, which meant fresh powder. and it was super bowl sunday, so the mountain emptied out. we were able to just ski right back onto the main lift after each run.

and no soreness! i did lose a bunch of hair on the front of my shins, though, lol.

nice, up a road i don't usually run on and the change of scenery was good. also a big out-and-back climb, elevation gain was 126 feet per mile which is more than even my usual hilly routes. good to know.

intentionally slow, probably should run slower. it's okay. an hour of moving is good. pretty cold but no wind so felt nice.

felt fine if a little slow. post run feel fat and out of shape. HR clocked at 160 average, which is terrible for this pace. nothing to do but start climbing the mountain again, slowly and patiently.

work has been very heavy the last two weeks, i've ramped up my mutual aid participation, i've been going on some dates...just haven't been prioritizing exercise. that's got to change at least a little, i've slid into inactivity and that sucks. wheel spinning is better than backsliding.

ETA: also, oh god, my knees are killing me like ten minutes after the run ended! this is a layoff thing, i think. i hope.
