turned off the news today. about to head down to BLM plaza to help set things up for tonight. one last run before the shit hits the fan (or, maybe, just maybe, doesn't).

- run 12.36 km in 1:00:24
just let myself go, only checked watch once, at 5 km, to see whether i'd hit 30 mins or 6 km first. beautiful day.

not that warm but heinously humid today. weather guy on the radio said it's like being inside a dog's mouth and that sounds about right. also raining lightly the whole day. T+DI 135, humidity 95% per accuweather.

- run 35:14, 7.03 km
beautiful evening. just wanted to get the juices flowing a bit rather than taking a nap. i was tired this afternoon, for some reason. slept well last night (although i had a very vivid dream involving a friendly acquaintance from pakistan and a woman i had a crush on from grad school and some confusion about who would be staying where in a city we were all visiting together).

went down to BLM plaza today to gather before marching over to king and spalding, one of the big law firms that's representing the trump campaign lawsuits. MAGA assholes were out, none of them wearing masks. all breaking current DC law by refusing to mask in public, although obviously the cops did nothing about it. a lot of infowars shit (one guy was even wearing an infowars t-shirt). among the anti-trump protesters who have been holding it down there for weeks now, there was an older lady holding up a "false idol" sign with a picture of trump on it. the chuds surrounded her, yelling at her from all sides, and she just stood there with the sign overhead like a fucking champion. brave woman.

killing me that i can't be downtown today but my parents were too worried about covid exposure because there's thousands of dipshits proudly not wearing masks, who traveled all over the place. ;aowiejf;oian;lxckvna;lkfga;oierht;aowiejfas;kxncvla;xkcn;alihg;aowie

- run 1:58:02, 21.03 km
ran all the way to BLM plaza. turned left just before getting into the last block because as a protester i've found people jogging through an obvious protest to be oddly disrespectful or at least off-putting. relaxed pace (5:37 average) but still probably should be running slower on sundays.
