bw = 159
soreness = calves lightly
aches = left bottom of foot, left achilles slightly, left knee slightly (after run, for ~1 hour) .. right hip flexor slightly, feel alot better after eating
- edit: it's weird, if mosquitos jack me up near my achilles, it can make it feel like I have an achilles injury .. and i've been bitten around there a ton lately.. so I just have to be careful, because i'm unsure whether it's muscle/tendon aches, or weird pain/referred pain from mosquito bites.. eh!!
last night's sleep: very bad .. odd thing .. i keep getting lit up by mosquitos, and last night b4 sleep, let the dog's out to pee .. and got bit a bunch .. anyway my right index finger, on the side, has these bubbly lumps, almost feels like I got burned.. feels really weird.. so anyway that bugged me all night.
morning speed:
- 9 AM
- very hot
- no socks
- goal was to do an 800m under 2:30 ... data from garmin connect says 2:30, but, my watch said 2:29, so goto hell garmin connect. edit: actually, garmin says 2:29.6

- i think my 800m PR is 2:21? so 2:29 in my first 800m in several months has me optimistic. I do feel pretty good.. I feel fast and i've got extra fat on me (and extra muscle), which is great once that fat comes off i'll have alot of extra pop.
-- edit: 800m PR is 2:23 ... +6s difference at this stage, i'll take it.
-- 800m PR of 2:23 came in December 2016 when I was in pretty much peak form.
- going out too fast definitely wrecks me, but, i need to be able to handle those paces better sooo..
- ooh I chased down a guy on a bike, was funny.
- also hit a ~100m (0.96m) in 13.8 seconds with running form / foot strike (not sprinting form), which is good at this stage .. means i'm producing some decent power again - already.
- max speed happened during one of the 0.06 mi runs @ ~16 mph

short session .. testing speed is always draining.
anyway, happy about it.
bw strength:
- ng pullups: BW x 9
- full dips: BW x 9 (right shoulder lame)
- standing single straight leg lifts: x 20
- standing single leg abduction: x 35
- close grip pushups: BW x 30
- pmghr quarters: BW x 7
-- nice
- torso rotations: x 20
- forward arm circles x 20
- leg swings: x 50 in a row each leg
- backward arm circles x 20
- other stuff
- hip rotation: x 20
- lateral leg swings: x 20
tomorrow: complete rest
sunday: running jump rope, light jumps, and MAYBE lunges?
