had an incredible evening with the girl, biking/roller blading around town looking at xmas lights. she's such a beautiful person. lots of laughs/great convo/"tough" questions.

not going to make regular posts about it, but just felt like mentioning it in here this time. important one. <3

gn!

 

merry christmas, y'all. took the last two days off to help my mom with some stuff and do many family zooms. did go for a shortish hike (1 hour or so) with my parents yesterday, which was nice.

it's 24/-5 here right now and high today is 36/2. we'll see about running later, might just be too cold.

EDIT: T+DI is 36 so at least i can't complain about humidity 

it's weird, i've had my BP taken a few times this year, in the UK and here, and it's always been around my normal baseline of 135/85. so i don't think running spontaneously lowered it into the normal range like in the last month. but who knows? maybe it was a fluke and the next time i get it taken it'll be right back to normal.

my mom said she thinks it's from living with her and my dad 

what happened with the woman whose number you got?

- run 58:24, 12.03 km
bit quick but that's okay.

- stretch

went to doc today about my ear pain. she said it's not infected, but that i should use a different kind of ear drops than the ones i've been using to deal with wax buildup. apparently that stuff can irritate. anyway not all that satisfying. i mention it only because they took my blood pressure and it was 110/77, which is the lowest it's ever been since i was at least 19. 

- run 1:56:52, 20.17 km
not quite as cold, maybe low 40s. niiiice and slow, slight negative split pace-wise which is not the worst thing in the world.

- stretch

wasn't quite sure where to put this and didn't want to start a new thread. given my current training it seemed relevant enough to put it here:

maybe it'd be better to back off on heavy-duty stretching, if you're hurt and you're just thinking about "getting through most of it"?
