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

thursday was crazy with work and friday i was in transit.

saturday

- treadmill intervals x 3
-- 0.5 mile @ 6 mph
-- 0.5 mile @ 9.5 mph
in charlotte for grandpa's funeral. woke up and got this in, which i'm glad about for two reasons: (1) it's always good to follow through on a commitment to train, and (2) my achilles didn't hurt despite this being at 7 AM.

today

- run 54:01, 9.83 km
cold-ish and raining, felt great.

- tempo
-- warm up x 2 km
-- 5 km @ 4:23 [4:23, 4:26, 4:20, 4:23, 4:24]
-- cool down

heck yeah, was breathing a bit hard by the end because the final bit of this route is uphill but this felt great. under target pace (4:25) overall and only one individual km over it.

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.
