- run 5.05km in 26:05
verrry easy. air quality is very bad at the moment. right hamstring fine, left hamstring oddly a little tight for a kilometer or so in the middle but nbd, went away.

those photos you posted on IG are nuts, incredible.. also is that Stephanie close to the edge? I don't think I could do that ... lmfao.

- run 5.37km in 27:29
lost at least 60-90s at road crossings, so running pace was more like 4:50-4:55 and relaxed, not pushing at all. improvement.

- stretch

knees feeling it a wee bit right now post-run. intention was to do intervals tomorrow morning, but may rest and do them friday instead.

brother here! spent the last several days in the mountains.

november 13

- hike x 6 hours
not sure of distance. elevation gain was at least 1100m/3600' and topped out above 3300m/11,000'. it was steep.

november 14

- hike x 6 hours
partway across a glacier and back and then back down. distance about 2km longer than day one but the glacier part was sloooow going. combo of dicey weather and difficult visibility on the glacier meant we cut the trek off a night early.

november 15
- walking up and down hills and stairs x a lot
soleus quite sore. calves and quads also.

what a rad trip. i walked on a glacier at 11,000 feet above sea level. that's a lifetime first.

happy birthday dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm sure you are enjoying it!

Happy B'day man. 

HBD mate!

- run 6.15km in 32:03
after nearly two weeks of no running, right back to 5:12 pace. was down at about 5:00 relaxed before my brother arrived. meant to run less but forgot that it's MY house that's 2km from the track and my gf's place is farther. whoops. weird thing happened at the end where my right foot started to feel like it was juuust a little bit asleep. something to monitor.

- stretch

EDIT: also, several people have asked me in the last couple of weeks if i've lost weight. i believe them, i feel skinny. and i think i've been suppressing my appetite, or rather finishing meals before i'm done when the option to go for seconds is there. not sure why. a propos of the convo in adarq's journal, i do not want to lose weight. the shoulder thing is a huge pain because it prevents pretty much all compound upper work, which would at least make me feel like i'm not getting weaker. it's been three goddamn months now, time for some more serious action on the shoulder. maybe go to the doctor here. my colleague's been having shoulder issues and seeing a PT and ortho. will ask her.
