overcommitted at the moment. two volunteering things, work has been very busy, trying to find time to keep improving at guitar, see friends, go on dates, etc. etc. etc. etc. need to rebalance.

- run 53:14, 10.08 km
beautiful day, probably 40 degrees and sunny. wore a hoodie but didn't need it. i'm out of shape.

- stretch

27 february

- run 1:05:17, 11.52 km
bit slow cause i went with a woman i've been dating. she's pretty fit: this was a hilly route and we averaged 5:47/km (i kicked a little after she dropped off at her building). i'd wager that's faster and farther than the vast majority of women runners.

- stretch

last night

- run 32:16, 6.2 km
trying not to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. i'm very goal-oriented so it's hard to keep motivation once i feel like i'm falling away from the level i should be training at to reach my goal. but that's a trap that leads to "well, fuck it then." it's better to do a little bit than none at all, and when i'm in a place again where i can push toward the goal i won't be as out of shape. plus exercise makes me feel good.

- stretch

tonight

- run 39:57, 8.01 km
the best run in months. felt incredible. perfect conditions. this route is an out and back that's basically up and then down. biggest elevation gain of any route i do around here. just under 5:00 pace and i was cruising.

This is GOLD!
I've tried to work around the same problem and i keep failing. So many times i skip workouts because i don't have 45' to do 400 reps of lifting or 1h to do at least 10K of easy run or 90m for a long slow run.
Well fuck it, 15-20m of small-rest-break lifting or 30' of a 5-6K easy run or 45' of slow run are so much better than skipping ( not to even mention the added frustration of skipping ).

progress update of a different kind:

still kind of suck at that song but damned if i can't play it all the way through now. i've done it better than that plenty of times but turning the camera on makes me nervous! my heart was beating hard toward the end, lol.

holy crap it's hot all of a sudden! T+DI 136, not peak but first time it's been worth noting this year. i'm also a bit sleep-deprived at the moment. that combo = struggle bus. need to recalibrate set pace.

weird weather, sunshowers and even a little sunthunder. humid but not too hot and a nice breeze. not quite TDI normalization season yet! running-partner-pace-normalization, though: yes.

- stretch

also, for the first time in my life i fell while running. we were going over a little wooden bridge and i just tripped. not badly hurt, just some scrapes, but it was startling. first time for everything, i guess.

also, went skydiving today for the fourth time.  ;D
