- run 38:54, 7.11 km
did km 4 in 3:43 on the track. wayyy too fast, i meant to do it in like 4:15 just to push a little bit because i'm so out of shape. made it the full km no problem but hoo boy i have some pacing practice to do.

was in a play last weekend so with that plus work it was a week straight of 15-hour days. no running.

it's fuckin' hot out.

- run 41:28, 7.47 km
with gf. HR high because TD+I is 163.

did no exercise while in california. back on the horse tonight and it is SUMMER. it wasn't even that hot out but the humidity was way up there and i struggled.

- run 40:13, 7.22 km
5:34 pace! well, i guess it's time to re-adapt to T+DI running. on that note: T+DI 146 because the dew point is SEVENTY-TWO. jesus.

need to start signing up for some races. starting to feel motivation coming back, although i've had little mini false starts here and the over the past year-plus. but man i don't know, i'm getting itchy. need a goal. need to get that discipline back. sub-19 can fall if i want it to. sub-12 two-miler. 5:00 mile. do an ultra.

right now, though, i need to go to bed.

last week was long. my cocky ass decided that the best way to start the new week would be to accompany my gf (we have moved past "woman-i've-been-dating") on a 15-mile run, her longest before she starts to taper for her half marathon in a couple weeks.

- run 19.31 km in 1:52:45, walk 5.5 km
felt great for the first 15 km. last 4+ were hitting-the-wall shit like i have not felt in two years. did not have enough calories in me, have not done enough long runs to believe -- which i know now -- that you should take some gel or a fruit roll-up or something. gf was also struggling (not from lack of fitness, unlike yours truly) so we called it at 12 miles and walked the rest of the way.

got a milkshake to deal with my crashing blood sugar, drank too much too fast, and puked much of it up an hour later. all in all, a humbling experience.

i'm in bangkok! the cold was not really covid, apparently. two negative PCR tests in the last few days (required for entry into thailand).
