i just picked up a used bench today that has one of those attachments on the end, had not occurred to me to do calf raises with it. will have to give that a try.

- run 42:18, 7.26 km
not too bad out. gf was lagging a bit so not quick.

648
- run 32:21, 5.99 km
verrrry humid. took this nice and easy and obviously short. no achilles discomfort,  :highfive:

649
tried to run a couple mornings ago but achilles said hello from the jump so i stopped after a half-block. resting and mobility the last few days (foam roller, active stretching, eccentrics) but no running. will try again this afternoon and keep it short even if i feel 100%.

also gf said she's supportive of getting a squat rack and weights for the garage so gonna start looking into that.

how much do you care about the h/m? because if it's more than a date on the calendar then i'd say that's not enough running. maybe replace one of the cardio cross-training things with another easy run.

i'd also say, don't jump right back into 10k's. ease back into it.

and i'd also say, go get it.

cooler today but pretty humid. left achilles bothering me just a little, won't run tomorrow.

super nice morning, gf took the day off because of period pain so i ran a bit faster (5:14 pace) and in a tighter window (5:03-5:26, depending mainly on prevailing slope)

yesterday

- run 53:52, 9.20 km
light rain for most of the run, was really nice.

today

- run 39:44, 6.95 km
humid but not at all hot, and overcast. watch says my max HR on the run was 68 which is...improbable. maybe i was wearing it too loose.

all runs now with gf unless otherwise noted. she keeps me relaxed and slow and most of all consistent and accountable. good stuff.

again w/gf. she has had a really tough month, is even more out of shape than i am. really nice evening.

i've run four days this week, which is my first time doing that since the end of june/beginning of july. at least i don't gain weight easily, otherwise god knows how out of shape i'd be. just hanging in there.

gf back from her trip so we ran together. hot today but sooo much less humid. still she wasn't feeling well so we went slow and called early. walked the last ~2.5-3 km home.

- run 42:57, 8.01 km
fuck i'm out of shape. really have not been consistent enough this summer to adapt to the heat. T+DI over 160 again, but still. anyway it's fun to explore the new neighborhood, i ran on some streets i've never been on before despite living within a four-mile radius of my new house for something like 28 of my nearly 36 years. running north is good, although somehow managed to run uphill the last mile home. maybe i'm just on a little hillock or something.

last week

- one really short run, like 3 miles

- moved and repainted house

today

- run 32:20, 6.03 km
waited until early evening but T+DI still over 160. gf and i moved uphill -- everything in northern DC slopes southward toward the rivers and we moved north -- so i'm gonna have to explore around a bit to see if i can find routes that don't end with steep uphills, especially in the summer. it's hot!

658
- run 39:13, 6.69 km
T+DI 162 and gf was feeling weak so this was pretty slow. last ~1.2 km were around 4:45 pace and still overall about 5:50

659
- run 25:35, 4.52 km
went out at lunch with gf. easing back in. she's coming back from a serious illness so we kept it pretty light, which is good for me anyway after such a long layoff. T+DI 148, it's humid but not very hot.

- run 39:19, 6.8 km
watch was fritzing out so extrapolated this from gf's watch. first run in more than two weeks, since i was in italy (ruled so hard) and then at a family event last weekend. i got covid in italy but it barely mattered.
