too horizontal

- circuit x 2

- run 9 km in 48:17, walk ~0.6km

- stretch

struggled tonight although pace ended up being okay and i came in faster than i went out. 34-35 degrees and very humid. bargained myself down to 9k around the 6k mark. not a good habit to get into but i felt shitty.

got home and started helping my gf with something. now it's pouring, pouring rain. too scary to run on the street with visibility this bad and the track will be a pond. hilariously, the weather report is that it's currently clear. i'm annoyed, i should have looked at the forecast before i started working on this thing. could have run first. got an early morning meeting tomorrow as well so can't make it up then. bah.

on the plus side, today i finally got into grad school (17th grade! scholastic level PR!) (also what up, joe, i'm moving to london) and my organization signed a multimillion-dollar grant that will enable us to do some great work.

Sweet. We'll have to go running together when you get here! Where are you going to be studying? I'm guessing SOAS?

for sure. and climbing, although i'm shit at it.

master's will be at UCL, actually. my political tendencies are lefty like SOAS but that's part of why i went for UCL: wariness of the echo chamber.

^^^thanks!

last night

- GMB warm up

- pirouettes x ~10/leg
better than i expected given how long it'd been since i did these. nailed at least a couple.

- scales x 5,5/leg

- pull up breathing ladder x 1,2,3,2,1,2,3,2,1

- stretch

so at least my run-less night wasn't a complete waste

tonight

- run 9.41 km in 49:58

- stretch

the storm broke the heat but not the humidity, which is up to 90%.

LBSS · « **Reply #4943 on:** July 28, 2019, 08:50:10 am »

friday night

- light yoga/meditation x 60 mins

saturday morning

- intense yoga x 90 mins, focus on single leg balance

saturday night

- light yoga/meditation x 60 mins

sunday morning

- intense yoga x 90 mins, focus on core

gf ran a yoga retreat this weekend in an absolutely stunning house about an hour away from islamabad. it was fun.

LBSS · « **Reply #4944 on:** July 30, 2019, 12:06:09 pm »

- ~~3km~~ 2km test: warm up x 3km plus a bit of walking; begin 3 km sub-12 test, cut off at 2 km because of headache; cool down x 4.32km
did 2 km in 7:46, one mile in ~6:12. felt sick earlier in the day but seemed okay by the time i started. realized partway through tonight that this is the third time i've tested myself this year and 2/3 times i've felt sick on the day. dumb. total distance ~9.8 km including some walking while watch was paused.

- stretch

32/90 degrees and 60% humidity (latter feels worse actually).

exhausting, lol. i'll do a full write-up once i've got a minute. for now suffice it to say: no exercise since tuesday.

LBSS · « **Reply #4947 on:** August 06, 2019, 12:35:05 pm »

- run 9.45 km in 58:15
first 3.5 km with gf, who was really struggling. we took a couple walking breaks. last km included an ~800m steep continuous climb, which sucked.

- stretch

might play tennis with my brother later as well.

EDIT:

- tennis x an hour

- stretch

super fun, plenty of rust after two years (!) of not playing, but less than i feared. bro is more skilled than i am now (he's been playing a fair amount over the last couple years) but i'm much better shape and once he ran out of steam it was all over.

checking in from the beach. did a bit of running -- one decently long run (11-12 km) and some shorter ones -- in california last week, along with some hiking in big sur. at the beach been playing tennis every day and swimming. good stuff. it's beautiful here. watched a turtle nest hatch last night, 102 little loggerheads bursting out of the sand all at once and making a beeline for the ocean. absolutely incredible sight.

from those photos on your ig, that spot on the beach looks solid.
