marc gasol also to LAL, and dennis schroeder. the lakers second unit could be really fun to watch.

thanks!

- warm up; 800m @5k pace x 6 [3:01, 3:01, 3:01, 3:02, 3:01, 2:57] w/90s walking rest; cool down
forgot last week that the plan with these 800s is to do them once a week for four weeks, decreasing the rest interval by 30 seconds each week. so did the second one today. it was harder but still not a struggle. but makes sense to stick with it.

weird.

- warm up; 400m x 10 [1:19, 1:21, 1:22, 1:21, 1:20, 1:19, 1:18, 1:22, 1:16, 1:11] w/2 mins walking rest; cool down
took a while to settle into the target pace (3:18-3:22, roughly 25-30s faster than 5k pace) because it's new for me. but negative splits from beginning to end is good. also this was a bit more challenging than the 800s last weekend, especially because i pushed a little more on the last couple. almost got under 70s for the last one. and as i was starting that lap, an old track dude who'd just arrived called out, "nice pace!" haha.

that seems extremely harsh but on the plus side, speaking from one of the hardest-hit countries in the world, where the state response has been an incoherent jumble at best, at least you don't have 20,000 dead people (would be australian equivalent to US death rate so far).

that said continuing banning things like outdoor exercise seems crazy given what we've learned about what's really high-risk (solo exercise, that is, i guess banning group classes is a different thing).

yeah but you pause. i think, if you decided to lose 6 pounds, take a few days off, and try a competition squat rather than a full pause, you could break the 35-39 record very easily.

did some cursory pull ups and push ups and hollow body holds yesterday. better than nothing but strength workout motivation remains low. it's very windy today, should be interesting to run later.
