yo let's hear it! when did you start playing and how did i miss it? guitar has been one of the real pleasures of the pandemic for me. if you post some stuff i might do it, too...

when you put it that way, i'm actually at over 1/3. joined at 22 (fall 2009) and am now 34. wow.

no run last night. thought about going this morning after an early (6:15) call with a colleague in indonesia but it is cold and windy and i wussed out. will knock off work early and at least get out in the sun this afternoon.

did write two songs last night, which was kind of a surprise. neither is finished or very good, but they both just kind of came right out. one about the plane crash in afghanistan in 2010 that i was almost on (i'd flown on the same plane, with the same crew, through similar conditions less than a day before it went down: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pamir_Airways_Flight_112) and one about the bessemer unionization effort.

yesterday

- run 38:36, 8.01 km
nice and easy, nice and short. absolutely glorious day.

today

- run 1:32:18, 16.22 km
niiiice and easy, a full minute per km slower than yesterday. mid-40s and raining steadily. felt great.

- stretch

yo sorry for the delayed response, i have been less active on here the last month-ish so getting caught up. welcome back. glad to see that you're training again.

why do you think jogging bothers your groin more than sprinting? (or am i just misreading)

Hey yeah good to hear from you. Congrats on the job btw, that was an intersting discussion to read, good to take the safe route as far as cash goes. I went for a run today after a prolonged warmup stretching around the groin area and that seems to have improved it. I used to never warm up for jogging but since that fixed it i assume thats what is impacting it. But thats a very astute observation im surprised i didnt read more into that comparison myself. You are still in the middle east, right? (sorry my memory is shit) any ultimate opportunities over there? Also, nice job to building to such a crazy volume with the runs i gotta get to that point too. Aerobics are supposed to help a lot with schizophrenia brain function.

i'm glad that warming up seems to make a difference. in terms of volume, basically anyone who's got two functioning legs can do IMHO. it just takes time and patience. i'm trying to get up to 60km/week average as we move into spring. one other observation/question: why is your breathing timed step to step on sprints?

actually, i'm back in the area. in silver spring for now but will move into DC in a month or two. no ultimate during the pandemic but i'd think about trying to find some pickup once i'm vaccinated. are you around?

no such thing as too slow on a run like that IMHO.

yesterday

- run 9.60 km in 45:36
didn't want to overdo it after the week-plus layoff. soleuses are apparently the first things to decondition. breathing a little harder than i should have. just ran without thinking. felt good to stretch my legs though. and no ITB tightness this time, that was weird before.
