ended up feeling sick yesterday, had to work the full day anyway (downside of the remote work adjustment). forced myself to stay awake until like 9:45 just to make sure i didn't give myself pseudo jet lag. woke up at like 4:30 with a headache, took some ibuprofen, fell back asleep, woke up at 6:20 feeling like a million bucks. 
- run 41 mins, 8 km
forgot to restart watch for a few minutes at one point so this is an estimate. close enough. improvised a new route that ended up around the tidal basin, which is so pretty. especially in the early morning. great light.

it's below freezing this morning. woke up as scheduled but decided that's too cold for me to run in (yet). went to the building's gym and there was already a guy on the one dreadmill. shit. think i'm going to have to come up with an alternate plan for the winter.

« on: November 13, 2021, 11:14:44 am »Well its been a funny old week, without going into too many details basically had a bit of a mental breakdown that ultimately resulted in reaching out to my family and close friends for the help I've probably needed for a long time. unfortunately running and meditating for hours a day didn't quite cut it here!!
yo, belatedly saying big ups for reaching out for help. there's no hug emoji on here but i'm offering a transatlantic hug anyway. hope your people are taking care of you.

you not worried about reinforcing the R/L imbalance?

early morning run week complete. actually did a normal distance this morning, as well. nice. managed to get up at 6:30 every day, although i only went for three runs instead of 4-5. that's okay, my mileage has been so low over the last couple months that it's probably for the best to take it slow. especially when combined with the schedule change. gonna try to wake up 10 minutes earlier next week.
evening
did a bit of extra walking at the encampment outreach i've been doing so decided to ballpark measure it on google maps. walked at least 5.5 miles. on an average friday it's probably more like 3.5.

yesterday morning
- run 30:27, 6.24 km
had to get it in after an early morning call. surprisingly quick (4:53 pace) despite this being the route with the biggest elevation gain/distance ratio, i guess the early start times really do slow me down.

a day of disappearing motivation. i got dressed to run, got out the door, it's a glorious day, and i just did not want to start. i paced around for a while trying to psych myself up and failed.

partial victory this morning. got out of bed at 6:30 but not out the door. didn't help that it was 36/2 degrees. let's see if daylight savings helps.

early morning schedule shift, attempt infinity, day 3. didn't run yesterday, by design, because i had a date on monday night.
- run 42:16, 7.85 km
morning = slow. it was 39/4 degrees when i left the house!

early morning schedule shift, attempt infinity.
- run 34:12, 6.14 km
about as hilly as routes get around here, 108 feet/mile. that plus the early start = slow pace. feel fine about it.

perfunctory.

went for a couple of longish walks today, one to get my haircut and one with the dog. slightly headachey, not sure why. no run.
did make what i think is my first-ever recording of myself playing and singing a song all the way through. gonna share it here because it's more of a progress update than any of my wheel-spinning runs have been. still don't quite have the precision or the timing down (although it didn't help that my hands are cold right now, this isn't the best i've played by any stretch) and obviously i am not much of a singer. but it feels good to make music.
