spent the day cleaning out my new place and picking up some stuff for it. gotta pack some more tonight and then tomorrow load the truck. moving in for real monday afternoon!

congrats on the new place man!! sux about the inet, hope you get it resolved quick, sux not to have it.

i'm still struggling to get good inet lol, it's a debacle.

last night

- run 42:28, 8.85 km
first run starting at my new place. there's a steep downhill scramble onto the rock creek park path literally across the street from the building. sick. ran along potomac, around behind lincoln memorial, around washington monument, past white house/BLM plaza, and back. not bad for winging it. will try running up the river in the other direction next time.

- stretch
god that felt good. so stiff.

comcast guy came this morning so i finally have internet. thought i'd be able to set it up on my own but nah, landlady literally had never used the internet in here so the guy had to connect to the exterior cable.

- run 48:54, 9.41 km
finally managed to get myself up to run before work again and didn't have any early calls to compete. did the middle ~3 km on a park trail almost completely out of sight of any road. god i love DC. much more climbing than i'm used to: typical runs around my parents' were 55 feet/mile. this route was over 90 feet/mile. but very much uphill-downhill so coming home was easier.

- stretch

stubbed my right big toe so badly last night that the nail bed filled with blood and started leaking. went to the podiatrist today, she removed the nail to make sure there wasn't a serious cut under there that could have gotten infected. turns out no cut, the blood was coming from the base of the nail. still, pretty freaking gross. so yeah, no running yesterday or today. she did say i could go back to it tomorrow but let's see how the toe feels.

right now it just feels like it isn't there, because of the novocaine.

Fuck! That's seriously the stuff nightmares are made of.

toe still pretty sensitive, limp mostly gone but still there a little. no run today either.

work sucks again. did not factor in the frequency and irregularity of early calls when i was resolving to move runs to the morning. thunderstorm last night so no run.  motivation running low.
