- run 58:22, 10.44 km w/ 4 x hill sprints
sprints intermittently over the final stretch back to the house, 10-40s duration with walk/jog rest. spectacular day, a little too warm to be perfect for running but perfect for anything else outdoors.

thanks raptor!

- run 38:07, 6.71 km w/ 3 x hill sprints at the end
T+DI 160+, so freaking humid. baby is eating constantly and not sleeping much so neither are we. this phase is supposed to be pretty short and i really hope that's true!

- run 56:29, 10.43 km
ran by feel, shooting for easy but not very easy. did not check watch. HR ended up at 134, which is fine because T+DI is 153. i'm gonna have to get used to running at less than ideal times, especially in these early weeks while the baby's got no melatonin and so does not distinguish between day and night. felt so good to get back on my feet.

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.
