that beach is beyond solid for me. it's got 30+ years of memories tied up in it. on friday morning we had a little ceremony to scatter some of my brother's ashes there. it was one of two places he requested that we do that, about a year before he actually died (the other being our parents' house).

back in maryland now.

- run 10.01 km in 53:01
first 4.5 km with gf, picked it up in the back half to get under 5:30 overall pace. she had the brilliant idea to drive down to the park nearby and then run along the creek, rather than just around the neighborhood. it's flat and so much less draining for her that she did an extra kilometer.

- stretch

wednesday

- run 8.03 km in 40:22
gave myself a 1.1km continuous uphill with 62m of elevation gain, by accident. pace dipped a little during that stretch, as you might expect.

- stretch

thursday

- tennis x 45 mins
gf came and played with me and my dad. she's a novice but a pretty quick learner and had fun. now wants to get a racquet and play when we're in the UK. dad has really struggled the last few times we've played. he used to be consistent if not very fast or powerful, but now he's a mess. xmas present idea: lesson package.

also i'm stuck in 'merica for another week because the UK government, in its wisdom, decided to make the visa application process a gigantic and unpredictable pain in the ass. in its defense, all countries do that. on the other hand, fuck borders.

yeah, what can you do. props for being relatively uncorrupt, though. my gf's mom works in visa processing for the home department and knows the guy who runs the visa section for the US and canada, and she couldn't call in a favor or anything. oh well.

yesterday

- tennis w/gf x 40 mins
very low-key, she's a total beginner. but it was fun, she's a good athlete, picks things up quickly, and actually tries, which is cool.

today

- run 10.47 km in 57:04
took a 400m walking break after 9km because i felt like i was overheating. that brought the overall pace way down. hot and quite humid today.

ended up with a moderate-to-bad headache most of yesterday afternoon and evening, post-run. legs felt wrecked for a while, too. pushed a bit too hard for what was supposed to be a light run, i think. and need to be drinking more water if i'm going to run in these conditions.

yeah it was fun. hadn't done that in literally years.

- tennis w/ dad x 45 mins
we were both starting to get the groove back a bit, had some really strong rallies. dad put some good zip on a few forehands and also mishit a bunch; overall big improvement over the past few times we've played.
