yesterday

- run 1:08:43, 12.26 km

today

- warm up

- bouldering x 90+ mins
much better headspace than the last couple of times. a friend came partway through who's a bit better than me and that's always a help: she has good ideas and also just encouraged me to try stuff i wouldn't have on my own.

right lower leg discomfort started a couple of runs ago, i forgot to note it because each time it goes away after the first couple of km. but since it was persisting i decided to take a break. trying not to repeat previous error of trying to run through discomfort behind my shin. it always turns into pain and forces a longer break.

last night

- climb x 60 mins
okay, managed an orange one that 3-4 of people were working on together, i was the first to actually complete it 

- run 47:08, 7.22 km
did a couple strides at the end, left achilles did not like it.

- squat
-- 1RM test: 265, 275
-- 205 x 5,5
not unhappy with this, given the last time i tried a 1RM was more than 8 years ago. also the rep was slow but not a true max. given how little i've been lifting, i kept it conservative. it's a bit under 1.7xbw.

- DL
-- 1RM test: 275, 295
see above. used straps. a bit under 1.8xbw.

- climb x 45 mins

interesting to have a baseline now.

last night

- run 37:47, 6.00 km
quite sore from the squatting. unsurprisingly, it's worse this morning as i type this (day 2).

- dreadmill run x 10 mins

- squat 205 x 5,5,5

- DL 225 x 5

arms (elbows, oddly) starting to get sore/achy from the flu, covid, and hep B shots i got earlier. called it a day. ETA: also upper shoulders have been feeling jacked all day, and that weird little discomfort i was having on squats over the summer was back. something a little screwy going on up there independent of the shots.

shots knocked me on my ass. i slept until noon and have barely been able to get off the couch today. woof. worth it but jesus christ, taking sick days was more fun as a kid.

flu shot has got hands this year, my wife and i are totally wrecked
