did no exercise while in california. back on the horse tonight and it is SUMMER. it wasn't even that hot out but the humidity was way up there and i struggled.

- run 40:13, 7.22 km
5:34 pace! well, i guess it's time to re-adapt to T+DI running. on that note: T+DI 146 because the dew point is SEVENTY-TWO. jesus.

- treadmill ladder 1 km @ 12, 15.4, 11, 15.4, 10.1
challenging but not too bad

- neutral chin x 6

- DB OHP 17.5s x 5

- treadmill run 4 km @ 5:07
struggle. better than nothing.

- stretch

need to start signing up for some races. starting to feel motivation coming back, although i've had little mini false starts here and the over the past year-plus. but man i don't know, i'm getting itchy. need a goal. need to get that discipline back. sub-19 can fall if i want it to. sub-12 two-miler. 5:00 mile. do an ultra.

right now, though, i need to go to bed.

last week was long. my cocky ass decided that the best way to start the new week would be to accompany my gf (we have moved past "woman-i've-been-dating") on a 15-mile run, her longest before she starts to taper for her half marathon in a couple weeks.

- run 19.31 km in 1:52:45, walk 5.5 km
felt great for the first 15 km. last 4+ were hitting-the-wall shit like i have not felt in two years. did not have enough calories in me, have not done enough long runs to believe -- which i know now -- that you should take some gel or a fruit roll-up or something. gf was also struggling (not from lack of fitness, unlike yours truly) so we called it at 12 miles and walked the rest of the way.

got a milkshake to deal with my crashing blood sugar, drank too much too fast, and puked much of it up an hour later. all in all, a humbling experience.

i'm in bangkok! the cold was not really covid, apparently. two negative PCR tests in the last few days (required for entry into thailand).

4/23

- treadmill run x a couple km

- stretch

plane rides that long are a pain in the ass.

4/24

- treadmill run ladder: 1 km @ 11kph, 1 km @ 12kph, 1 km @15.2kph, 1 km @ 12kph, 500m @ 15.2kph, 500m @12kph, 1 km @ 11kph

- pull ups x 5,5

- stretch

- run 59:21, 10.18 km
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. 

hell yeah vag!!!
