overcommitted at the moment. two volunteering things, work has been very busy, trying to find time to keep improving at guitar, see friends, go on dates, etc. etc. etc. etc. need to rebalance.

- run 53:14, 10.08 km
beautiful day, probably 40 degrees and sunny. wore a hoodie but didn't need it. i'm out of shape.

- stretch

skiing weekend was a big success. it was a little warm on saturday (35/2 degrees) but still fun and then it snowed all saturday night and sunday morning and the temp dropped to like 20/-7, which meant fresh powder. and it was super bowl sunday, so the mountain emptied out. we were able to just ski right back onto the main lift after each run.

and no soreness! i did lose a bunch of hair on the front of my shins, though, lol.

- run 44:48, 8.94 km
flatter route with a lot more intersections. annoying.

- stretch

- run 40:54, 8.05 km
nice, up a road i don't usually run on and the change of scenery was good. also a big out-and-back climb, elevation gain was 126 feet per mile which is more than even my usual hilly routes. good to know.

- run 31:07, 6.03 km

fml i am weak. well, got to start somewhere.

ETA: also, weighed myself today for the first time in many moons. 169, which is about 4 pounds more than the last time i did this. given how inconsistent i've been over the last few months, that is most likely all fat. i'm still quite lean (abs visible if blurry, as has been the case since i can remember), but it's notable. i don't think i've ever passively put on weight before, as an adult. welcome to the back half of your 30s, luke.

Some random things tryna get some upper back work without any equipment lol

you could get a band and do pull-aparts. that barely counts as equipment. otherwise, inverted rows under a table or desk?
