turns out i have giardia, again. so don't feel so as bad about bailing on myself last night. totally wrecked today.

Cysts are resistant forms and are responsible for transmission of giardiasis. Both cysts and trophozoites can be found in the feces (diagnostic stages) (1). The cysts are hardy and can survive several months in cold water. Infection occurs by the ingestion of cysts in contaminated water, food, or by the fecal-oral route (hands or fomites) (2). In the small intestine, excystation releases trophozoites (each cyst produces two trophozoites) (3). Trophozoites multiply by longitudinal binary fission, remaining in the lumen of the proximal small bowel where they can be free or attached to the mucosa by a ventral sucking disk (4). Encystation occurs as the parasites transit toward the colon. The cyst is the stage found most commonly in nondiarrheal feces (5). Because the cysts are infectious when passed in the stool or shortly afterward, person-to-person transmission is possible. While animals are infected with Giardia, their importance as a reservoir is unclear.

- run 12.56 km in 1:10:50
nice and slow, tried to limp noodle it but i'm not advanced enough yet, lol. 5:38 pace still qualifies as very light for me. will keep working on it.

- superset
-- pull up x 5,5,5
-- push up x 15,15

- stretch

inspired by the vid of the wisconsin kid adarq posted.

finally realizing what it means for me to keep the hard days hard(er) and the easy days easy(ier). need more ~12 km runs at 5:45+ and more challenging tempo. this was not too hard but it was the first time trying something like this.

i meant the cross country national champ, running in austin. the vid you posted has him doing extensive tempo of 3 mi warm up, 3 mi tempo, 3 mi cool down.

but yeah that boling kid is nuts. relaxed 24s 200s in flats as a high schooler. lol.
