- run 10.01 km in 46:10
10k "PR" of 46:08. checked watch a little after 8 km and realized i could get close to 46 minutes if i picked it up. so did last 2 km in 4:30, 4:03. pretty pleased to have hit tempo pace for the last km of a 10k. legs felt a little heavy at the beginning but it didn't seem to affect pace. no calf discomfort or tightness.

- run 16.30 km in 1:25:34
distance PR. hit a couple of serious bottlenecks where i had to slow to a walk, which brought overall average pace down a little. still, 5:15 is fine for a long run. right calf tight at the beginning again, stopped after ~0.5 km and massaged and stretched. it was fine after that. will pay some attention to it tonight and tomorrow.

BTW adarq, the internet is being glacially slow now for most websites. except not this one, which is loading normally. any idea why that might be? gmail won't load at all, washington post is hit or miss. the guardian and al jazeera load but slowly. lots of other websites load but without images/media.
EDIT: embeds here like instagram posts don't load.

that seems like a great place to start vag.
- warm up x 2 km
right calf felt a little tight for the first km or so but loosened up to 100% status. something to monitor.
- tempo x 3 km in [4:09, 4:06, 4:03]
- cool down x 2.22 km
lowered target pace on watch to 4:00-4:10, not only hit it but got negative splits. it's a loop, too, so not like i was cheating on the incline or wind.

- run 9.12 km in 43:46
4:48 average pace. kept it a little short today so as not to go too far over my weekly target yet. will be around 53-54 km for the week after saturday's hard workout.
- stretch
i think i need to start adding distance on these weekday runs, to get back up closer to an hour on my feet. <50 minutes is too easy now, gotta progress. might not be a bad idea to add time to the long runs as well, as long as i can keep my pace down. getting to three 60-min runs, one 90-min run, and a speed workout every week would push me up a bit, i think.

that's interesting, that it'd be stress-related for both of you. that could be it. like with my headaches last fall, i don't feel consciously stressed but this situation is undoubtedly stressful so it's possible that my body is manifesting the stress that way. i've been sleeping okay: it's been a little bit hard to get to sleep the last couple of nights, i think mostly because it's getting warmer, but i've been getting at least 7 and usually more like 8 hours, which is normal. and no more or less caffeine than usual.
@gukl, it's a ringing or more accurately a steady high-pitched buzz, like the sound an old tv makes when it's on but muted.

- run 10.43 km in 55:08
first 3 km w/ex-gf (weird to type that) in ~6:15 pace, then pretty steady ~4:54 average the rest of the way.

i have tinnitus like crazy in my left ear all of a sudden. started yesterday. no idea what might have brought it on. no loud noises i can think of, and i don't feel unwell. strange.
