eye almost 100%.. crazy how much damage was done (not emergency level, but still...)

should be back to normal tmw. painful to touch is basically gone. intermittent blurriness is almost gone.

don't get stung in the eye! imagine if it was a wasp/bee tho.. i could have been wrecked.



haven't run in 3 days, letting the eye heal.

aches/injuries = low back the last few days - odd.

will probably run sat/sun, pre/post tropical storm/hurricane.

pc!

bw = 143

run:
- light
- 1 hour
- felt great

got stung directly in the eyeball by something, ~10 minutes in. stopped me dead in my tracks for like 5 min. was painful. eye seems fine now. lmao.

Fark! That sounds horrible.

yea sux.

woke up this morning with a "wet eye" (tears). seems like it's trying to clean something out.

seems less blurry, but still a bit painful so dno.

i just realized.. my dog (james) is a natural dock jumper. he leaps in as far as the ball is, in the pool. to try and grab it.. even if it's like 5+ ft out, he gets it.

with a good run up, he could probably get some good distance! hah. no idea how he'd learn to do that tho. would need a coach

the mile-pace intervals were pushing my right knee, which is a little out of sorts today. haven't been able to really sprint for many years now and i guess that's also true for a fast (for me) run. never been able to tell what exactly is wrong. i remember asking for suggestions on lyle mcdonald's mean forum* back in maybe 2014 and his response was, "OP should not sprint." couldn't see a good argument against that, there was no reason i HAD to be sprinting.

the discomfort comes and goes and never bothers me while jogging - it's something to do with the amplitude of the leg swing on sprints, or maybe the amount of knee flexion on the front end (peak knee lift is when it's most noticeable; second-most is peak flexion on the back end). anyway, i'd love to sort that out at some point, it sucks to think i wouldn't be able to test a mile or 800 because my knee wouldn't like it.

*RIP monkey island, i hadn't been on there in years but went to check on it a couple of months ago and it'd disappeared. there were some hilarious people on there.

you sprint/fast strides in your running shoes? and on what surface?

i'd be curious how you feel if you did some sprints/hard strides in very light shoes, on a futbol-like surface (low/thin grass/hard packed dirt) - soft, not asphalt/track etc. even though you mentioned more of the mechanics, i'd be curious how very light shoes (xc flats or spikes) feel (potentially making the mechanics easier/less stressful), and on a really comfortable surface (less stress per stride).

think it'd be the same?

i rested for ~5 days to get my calves back on track. i jacked them up like an idiot so just rested until they were good. nice. felt normal today.

a new knife should arrive tmw. excited. it's not really a knife, it's a "pocket sword".... lmfao.

run:
- 1 hour / light
- felt great
- no calf tightness

epic. what a beast.

Norman also just became the second man ever to go sub 10 1000, sub 20 200 and under 44 to the 400. That's INSANE to be that elite across all 3 distances.

ya that's mind blowing.

 

Congrats on the Bench PR!
