tuesday

- assisted with birth of baby daughter

 

it has been a hell of a week. but we're home with her now and everyone is healthy, knock wood. did not get a single lick of training in - in fact, activity was so low during the four days we were in the hospital that my ankles got a little swollen! i tried to go for a run today but the canadian wildfires make the air feel like you're sucking on a tailpipe so i bailed. not worth it. yesterday was worse and i think we have some rain coming so hopefully the air will clear up soon enough. i can't leave wife and daughter for long enough yet to go run at a gym. so these first couple of weeks training will be sporadic. i will lift, though, since we have the setup.

lol. none of these will ever match the letsrun cesspit at least. one of the last vestiges of the best/worst of the old-school internet.

lyle still very active posting angry rants on youtube or instagram. ends up in my feed now and then despite my best efforts to keep that postitive

very unsurprising re: lyle. i never got into letsrun, probably for the best.

that's cool, i've always wanted to get one of those done. good luck with the diet! don't try to lose it all too fast.

no doubt, i didn't actually think your flare-ups coincided with joe's and my off days.

- SubT 10 8 x 3 mins
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:02-05
-- cool down
stopped early because i'm time constrained this morning, got to go to midwife appointment. T+DI 147. reps felt pretty good.

that is a bit weird. wonder if raptor's missed days are similar, then it'd be really weird.

- SubT 5 x 6 mins
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:09-13
-- cool down
T+DI 141 but overcast and drizzly. felt good. wore AP4s, i'm trying to do at least one workout a week in them to keep myself habituated to supershoes.

T+DI 149, very muggy. at least it's not gonna be a hundred fucking degrees today.

ha, i guess i missed that one. or forgot it.

- run 23:49, 5.29 km
T+DI 162. the stiffness was still there but a little lower down today, and more concentrated in a little band around the back of my lower right leg.

afternoon

- warm up

- squat 85 x 5,5

- calf raise 85 x 10,10

- RDL 85 x 8,8
first set felt a little in the low back. corrected second set.

- circuit x 2, no rest between exercise
-- push up x 12
-- row 50 x 8
-- hollow body hold x 30s
did superman x 30s on the first circuit but back was feeling a little delicate with the RDL goof so i skipped it the second round.

- SubT 10 x 3 mins
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:18-23 w/ 60s+ rest
-- cool down
T+DI 160, successfully followed magness's advice and ignored my watch. after the 7th rep i started taking about 20-25s extra of rest to get my HR down into the 120s. the track was locked and i decided to just do these around the school block, so they're not flat. not sure still exactly what these 3 min reps are supposed to feel like but overall the RPE was like a 6.5-7, which seems good under these conditions. pleased to have just made it through all ten reps and gotten my HR up.

right lower leg a bit stiff to start out, wrapping around from the middle part of the soleus to the tib anterior and including my foot. went away as the workout went on but kind of odd.

they canceled my hometown's fourth of july parade tomorrow because it's gonna be too hot. yesterday broke the daily temp record (102/38.9) and we're headed that direction again today and maybe tomorrow. the overnight low was also the highest low ever recorded for this date.
