Adarq.org

got a little excerpt in a "local news" article. funny how they stick quotes around something you didn't say.. lol.

https://coralspringsconnection.wordpress.com/2018/09/08/coral-springs-hosts-5k-remembrance-run/

Andrew Darqui won second place overall for men. “I came and second last year and I liked being a part of this race. I was hoping to win first place,” he said. on

"I came AND second" ->

it was a weak interview. I said:

"I came in 2nd last year, and 2nd this year."

"I love Coral Springs races."

"Hopefully next year i'll try again, to get first."

The reason why I bring it up, is it's just odd to me.. guy didn't have a recorder/etc, and he basically built quotes from memory to write that short article.

Apparently two people said "I liked being a part of this <>", me (I didn't) and this girl:

"Sally Fowler said, “I liked being a part of this run."

lol.

I mean it's cool whatever but I find it odd that people would do such a job.

light strength + long light run.

short log.

- 45 min

- light, felt good
- sore af tho, painful early on, but disappeared after ~30 minutes







a few hours later.. ear "feels" a little better than it did prior/during the run. so maybe it might have helped a little. just need this thing to unblock by tmw.. or going to a walk-in clinic on thursday.

c'mon body, you got this. fix yourself.

I CAN HEAR AGAIN

went to urgent care. took them like 40 minutes no lie, to unblock BOTH ears

both were completely blocked

the right one, which was 100% deaf, took like 15 minutes.

the left one, which I had been able to hear out of, until they put the drops in (and then it went deaf too), took like 25 minutes. It was actually worse than the other ear.

that was crazy.

now as i'm typing, I can hear sounds I haven't heard in a long time, even just the sounds of the keys, sound so much different/clearer. lmao.

 



EDIT:

blood pressure was 110 / 60.

nice. ;f

jfc. did they say how it might have happened? like, how did it get so bad?

had my first swordfish steak today.. was REALLY good. my friend made it, and caught it.. so i knew it would be good.

photos kind of suck because i took them quick, didn't want to be all serious about it.. hah.

rest.

if i hadn't gone to bed so late and had to wakeup early, i'd have run today.

plan on doing it tmw.

09:45 AM: workout: bw
- strong
- 3 rounds of pullup variation, dip variation, standing lateral abduction, standing leg raises, low volume calf raises

light + speed.

feel a bit weird since getting my ears unblocked. actually feel kinda "dizzy" (very slight at times). it's weird.

first day not looking at watch AND not looking at pace data. I took screenshots but didn't look "in" to them, so no clue about the actual paces etc.

I even disabled my resting HR widget........

about to sleep.. waking up at ~3:30 AM EST to watch the Berlin Marathon. Kipchoge is in shape to break the WR, don't want to miss that.

- felt better tonight but still feel jacked up
- felt pretty fast .. no idea though.
- im guessing the first effort was ~900m-ish, next two were ~450m-ish.
- legs didn't feel too bad after lunges, adapted again .. left knee bugging afterwards a little tho, icing it.




I have a 5k race on September 25th (i think that's the date). I'll go back and look at my data after that race.. haha.

def feels weird but I like it so far.

legs felt solid after lunges. left hamstring was a little sore during the lunges, but overall, pretty much adapted.
