short but the point was to get up early and i did. one day at a time.

- push up x 25
- pull up x 5,5,5,5,5

lower legs still pretty sore. did wake up early this morning, which is good, but decided to rest an extra day. hiking is a different kind of stimulus.

went to NC and GA this weekend with my parents and brother. first time the four of us have been together, with no partners present, since my other brother died in 2018. it was great.

saturday

- hike 13-14 miles
did the very first stretch of the appalachian trail, starting from springer mountain.

sunday

- hike ~11 miles
neels gap to cooper gap. absolutely stunning. lower legs a little sore.

first day running when it was over 90. ended up doing a lot of climbing as well, around 70 feet/mile. combination: struggle bus. or to look at it differently, forced slow pace (5:50), which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

time a little skewed because i got lost on a trail on the way back.

i had a long dip, feels like i'm coming out of it a bit (touch wood). 39.1 km total this week, gonna take it slow getting back up over 50.

christ this felt good. got a little lost running up into foxhall, one of the fanciest neighborhoods in DC. no surprise, it's up high. averaged 74 feet per mile of climbing vs. my usual 50-55 feet per mile. noticeable difference.

i will definitely try it again. it makes intuitive sense. running is both passively relaxing, in that it is a time when i am free from distractions and able to be fully present, and actively relaxing in that it forces me to pay attention to my body in a purposeful way.

on a completely unrelated note, i'm noting more and more how learning guitar has changed the way i listen to music. i've always loved listening to music -- i pity people who don't; famously nabokov hated music -- but now i find myself trying to figure out how it's put together in a way that was never previously accessible to me. it's more interactive, in a way. and especially as i'm starting to get into jazz a little bit, it's really fun to put on like 15 different versions of the same song and just hear how different artists have interpreted it on different instruments. and to think about why a certain approach works for me more than another. never would have done that before.

literally ran a headache away. had a low-grade tension headache most of the afternoon. had a sneaking suspicion that dragging myself into a run would help it go away and i was right. high five!

lol, glad i'm not the only one with toenail woes. on a related note, i learned recently that up to a certain age, human children can regrow severed fingertips.

got second moderna shot yesterday. woke up this morning feeling like i'd been, not by a bus, but by like a civic. no fever or vomiting but aches in every joint, even my jaw. i've taken some tylenol (they recommended that over ibuprofen) and two naps and will continue to chill today. much stronger reaction than i had last time but could be worse: my friend who i carpooled with to the vaccination site got a fever and was up all night vomiting. she had covid in december and also reacted strongly to the first shot.
