freelanced a new route today and once again it was exactly 11 km. about half as much climbing as the other day, consequently about 12s/km faster and lower HR.

gonna see if i can make myself stick to this for a while. every other day, do a set of push ups and then pull ups to match the reps. try to add a bit each time but not be mad if i can't.

gorgeous evening post-ida. lots of climbing on the route today because i figured it'd be better to go up than down after all the rain.

emotional roller coaster of a week. my ex wrote to me completely out of the blue to see if i have any interest in starting a conversation that might lead to us getting back together. my brother came across the body of a young man who'd hung himself on the playground next to my brother's house. my friend sent a shit-ton of pictures from the kabul airport, where he spent the last week helping evacuate 1,000 people and leaving many more behind. i spent some time trying to help former colleagues find a us government employee to sponsor their P2 visas, and failing.

going to NYC this weekend to meet some friends who are visiting from pakistan. will bring my running stuff, it'd be nice to run in central park and the weather looks cool.

just to do it. it's been thunderstormy and extremely hot this week so i've been inactive. today no storm but T+DI 170 with temp in the mid-90s/35 degrees. definitely the most sauna-like day of the year so far, at least on days i've gone for a run. sweated so much that my fingertips were wrinkled at the end. the trail was much emptier than usual.

14 year old chinese girl scores multiple perfect 10s, shatters olympic record in diving: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXg30_BgOEQ. as someone says in the comments, to a layman (like me) this looks amazing; to someone who knows even a little bit about diving, it's mission impossible. cool.
