got back last night from a week at the beach. played tennis for an hour every day but one (when i slept for 9.5 hours -- unheard of for me -- and missed the court time), lots of swimming, and one ~7 km run that felt incredibly hot.

it was a great week.

- run 33:41, 6.6 km

emotional roller coaster of a week. my ex wrote to me completely out of the blue to see if i have any interest in starting a conversation that might lead to us getting back together. my brother came across the body of a young man who'd hung himself on the playground next to my brother's house. my friend sent a shit-ton of pictures from the kabul airport, where he spent the last week helping evacuate 1,000 people and leaving many more behind. i spent some time trying to help former colleagues find a us government employee to sponsor their P2 visas, and failing.

going to NYC this weekend to meet some friends who are visiting from pakistan. will bring my running stuff, it'd be nice to run in central park and the weather looks cool.

freelanced a new route today and once again it was exactly 11 km. about half as much climbing as the other day, consequently about 12s/km faster and lower HR.
