wednesday

- tempo
-- warm up x 2 km
-- 5km @ 4:31 [4:36, 4:36, 4:30, 4:30, 4:27]
-- cool down

forgot to start the run with the programmed workout, so i didn't have the pace guidance. by the time i noticed it was too late to start over so i just decided to do it by feel. a bit slower than i planned, but negative splits even with the uphill finish. not mad.

today

- run 16:32, 3.34 km
just to stretch legs and do *something*.

i couldn't believe how good dune was. i'd tried and failed to start reading it several times and in retrospect have no idea why it didn't take. it rules.

remembrance of earth's past trilogy i enjoyed, although it's pretty sexist. but yeah holy shit cixin liu's imagination is on fire. extremely cool weapons and other tech in the later books.

if you're into spec fic, another brilliant one i read relatively recently is a canticle for liebowitz.

today is the fifth anniversary of my brother's death, by suicide. he was homeless off and on for a few years, so my parents are going to join the encampment outreach i've been doing every friday for the past 1.5 years or so, as part of commemorating him. i miss him, a feeling that's gotten more acute in recent months. i'm not sure why. but i'm feeling it today.

- tempo
-- warm up x 2 km
-- 4 km @ 4:25 [4:26, 4:25, 4:22, 4:26]
-- cool down x 1.3 km

meant to do 5k but still sluggish, was breathing hard at the end of 4k (hit it right at the top of a hill) and worried about tipping over the lactate threshold. so i stopped. will repeat this pace next week.

my fiancee (half-argentine: her dad is from argentina and most of that side of the family are there) and i watched the game at home, both hung over (her very much so). our TV is in the basement, where the ceiling is pretty low. after messi's first goal, she jumped up on the couch, hit her head on the ceiling and her elbow on a support column, threw up a little bit, and started crying. there were still more than two hours left to watch. what a game, what a tournament!
