   4 x 500m 2 min rest in between (49,52,50 (i think), 48)

those times are not possible for 500m. they would be near-elite for 400m.

especially when he ran 14.41 the other day

well that goes without saying. i'd bet a large amount of money that no person has ever run 500m in even 52s, let alone 48.

edit: it appears that the indoor WR for 500m is 60.17s.

the money shot, where he goes through his legs from the free throw line, is at 4:45 or so. but watch the whole thing. he goes clean from the free throw line, two hands from the free throw line, windmill from totally behind the free throw line, then BTL. that shit is gross.

athletic fatorexia in the motherfuckin hizzouse.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: low back after DL bounds; shins from very beginning of tempo (???)
MENTAL STATE: good, so ready to be back to work

- warm up

- broad jump x 4
12y on the nose

- DL bound x 4,4,4
awful, okay, good (12y+1')

- avishek SL bound x 3,3

- sprint 30m x 3
4.24, 4.25, 4.28, back achy from bounds

- sprint 40y x 2
5.35, 5.29 uhhh what? apparently my 30m markers have been wrong? or something? or i can't count? i need to take the measuring tape to the track next time and just make sure i'm using the right hash marks. 5.29 is exceptionally slow, even for me and even with a sore back.

- SLRVJ, DSVJ, DLRVJ x a whole lot
jumped for a bit more than 20 mins, lots of submax stuff at a very short rim. feeling the back and the first-workout rust.

- tempo sprint the straights jog the curves x F
shins screaming at me as soon as i started sprinting the first straight. tried to finish the lap and couldn't. legs dead anyway, called it a workout. this is a bit weird, hasn't happened to me in a long time. not shin splints, but the feeling that your shin bones themselves are pulling away from the muscle, or something like that.

- stretch

was planning to launch right back into heavy (for me) squats tomorrow but i think i'm going to play it cautious based on how wrecked i got from tonight.

what did you read?

Smiley's People, by John LeCarre, and The Sound of Things Falling, by Juan Gabriel Vasquez.

LeCarre writes the best dialogue of any novelist I've ever read, and it's not even close. It is indescribably awesome; even The Russia House, which isn't great, has some riveting scenes of characters just talking to each other for several pages. I've read three of his four towering cold war books now: Smiley's People; Tinker, Tailor; and The Spy Who Came in From the Cold. Only The Honourable Schoolboy remains.

The Vasquez book was also wonderful, if very sad. A total page-turner for such a serious book whose main theme (to me) is humans' profound and ultimately insurmountable isolation from each other, despite all our efforts to connect.

Started off all good with seeing the Osteo on Friday. She worked some of her magic and the body was feeling v good. She's been experimenting with different techniques and strangely enough she did some work on my liver meridian around the rib cabe and arm pit which released my extremely tight IT band. Mind = blown!

i <3 voodoo magic PT shit. it's the best.

seems solid, man.
