christ this felt good. got a little lost running up into foxhall, one of the fanciest neighborhoods in DC. no surprise, it's up high. averaged 74 feet per mile of climbing vs. my usual 50-55 feet per mile. noticeable difference.

i will definitely try it again. it makes intuitive sense. running is both passively relaxing, in that it is a time when i am free from distractions and able to be fully present, and actively relaxing in that it forces me to pay attention to my body in a purposeful way.

on a completely unrelated note, i'm noting more and more how learning guitar has changed the way i listen to music. i've always loved listening to music -- i pity people who don't; famously nabokov hated music -- but now i find myself trying to figure out how it's put together in a way that was never previously accessible to me. it's more interactive, in a way. and especially as i'm starting to get into jazz a little bit, it's really fun to put on like 15 different versions of the same song and just hear how different artists have interpreted it on different instruments. and to think about why a certain approach works for me more than another. never would have done that before.

literally ran a headache away. had a low-grade tension headache most of the afternoon. had a sneaking suspicion that dragging myself into a run would help it go away and i was right. high five!

lol, glad i'm not the only one with toenail woes. on a related note, i learned recently that up to a certain age, human children can regrow severed fingertips.

got second moderna shot yesterday. woke up this morning feeling like i'd been, not by a bus, but by like a civic. no fever or vomiting but aches in every joint, even my jaw. i've taken some tylenol (they recommended that over ibuprofen) and two naps and will continue to chill today. much stronger reaction than i had last time but could be worse: my friend who i carpooled with to the vaccination site got a fever and was up all night vomiting. she had covid in december and also reacted strongly to the first shot.

work sucks again. did not factor in the frequency and irregularity of early calls when i was resolving to move runs to the morning. thunderstorm last night so no run.  motivation running low.

yesterday

- catch with FP x ~90 mins
also played HORSE and shot around for a bit. he can still dunk easily. my hops have regressed completely, couldn't even touch rim. that may have had a little to do with my toe situation but regardless, ouch.

today

- run 42:13, 7.83 km
short and slow. toe still felt a little weird but was able to run without limping so ok. right pec and arm, and also glute, a bit sore from all the throwing yesterday.

it was gnarly. hurts this morning, taking the dressing off and soaking in warm salty water was not enjoyable. i can stand on it now but rolling through that toe isn't happening yet.

stubbed my right big toe so badly last night that the nail bed filled with blood and started leaking. went to the podiatrist today, she removed the nail to make sure there wasn't a serious cut under there that could have gotten infected. turns out no cut, the blood was coming from the base of the nail. still, pretty freaking gross. so yeah, no running yesterday or today. she did say i could go back to it tomorrow but let's see how the toe feels.

right now it just feels like it isn't there, because of the novocaine.

finally managed to get myself up to run before work again and didn't have any early calls to compete. did the middle ~3 km on a park trail almost completely out of sight of any road. god i love DC. much more climbing than i'm used to: typical runs around my parents' were 55 feet/mile. this route was over 90 feet/mile. but very much uphill-downhill so coming home was easier.

went to roosevelt island for the first time in my life. ended up on some trails that were overgrown, jumping over and ducking under logs, having to navigate a little. pretty surprising given that georgetown or arlington are in sight practically the whole way around! it was fun.

last night

- run 42:28, 8.85 km
first run starting at my new place. there's a steep downhill scramble onto the rock creek park path literally across the street from the building. sick. ran along potomac, around behind lincoln memorial, around washington monument, past white house/BLM plaza, and back. not bad for winging it. will try running up the river in the other direction next time.

god that felt good. so stiff.

comcast guy came this morning so i finally have internet. thought i'd be able to set it up on my own but nah, landlady literally had never used the internet in here so the guy had to connect to the exterior cable.
