Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: a fast and explosive donkey!

- run 58:27, 11.00 km
words cannot describe how satisfying it is to hit 11.00 km exactly on the final step of the run. i didn't have to go a few houses up the block or run around in circles for a few seconds to get it to turn over this time. without looking, the watch buzzed the very instant my foot hit the driveway. i crossed the street once at a slightly different point this time, maybe that's what added the extra 30m.

- run 1:30:00 plus walk/run 11:07, 16.78 km
T+DI 160, highest in a long time. felt it. kept pace very relaxed but probably shouldn't have gone so far today, had to stop and walk at the 90-min mark.

freelanced a new route today and once again it was exactly 11 km. about half as much climbing as the other day, consequently about 12s/km faster and lower HR.

you're built for bouldering/climbing: long and lean. wouldn't surprise me in the least if it becomes your next training obsession. unless you're genuinely afraid of heights.

morning
- push up x 20
- pull up x 7,6,7
gonna see if i can make myself stick to this for a while. every other day, do a set of push ups and then pull ups to match the reps. try to add a bit each time but not be mad if i can't.
evening
- run 58:55, 11.00 km
gorgeous evening post-ida. lots of climbing on the route today because i figured it'd be better to go up than down after all the rain.

yyyyyyyyikes. time to start doing these again.
also, apropos of seifullaah's skinnyfat thread, i feel like i've got a little more adipose in the love handle area than i used to. not sure, it's the only place i've ever had enough to pinch and there's always been a little there. so i might just be hyperaware. or i might suddenly be in my mid-30s and working out less than i used to. gonna operate on the assumption that the latter is the case and watch my diet and drinking a bit in the next few weeks. see how i feel.
and apropos of the push ups and pull ups, i'm starting to miss lifting weights. again.

emotional roller coaster of a week. my ex wrote to me completely out of the blue to see if i have any interest in starting a conversation that might lead to us getting back together. my brother came across the body of a young man who'd hung himself on the playground next to my brother's house. my friend sent a shit-ton of pictures from the kabul airport, where he spent the last week helping evacuate 1,000 people and leaving many more behind. i spent some time trying to help former colleagues find a us government employee to sponsor their P2 visas, and failing.
going to NYC this weekend to meet some friends who are visiting from pakistan. will bring my running stuff, it'd be nice to run in central park and the weather looks cool.
