yeah that's sensible. i think i'll prioritize the 5k time trial, though, it's the one i actually care about. that's soon, though, so i'll have to lay out a little plan for the next few weeks.
also: turned in my master's thesis. pending my final grades, i'm done with grad school.
edit: and also, now that i think about it, they froze our grades when the lockdown started. so i'm pretty sure i will be graduating with distinction regardless of how i do on my thesis.

- run 21.11 km in 1:54:58
distance PR by almost a mile. it was so nice out yesterday that i thought i'd go for a half marathon today. take it nice and easy, just get the distance. but it was hotter than i thought it'd be. stubbornly persisted but i was dragging at the end: last two km were 6:17 and 5:39. overall average 5:27 is pretty slow.
- stretch
wrecked. i had to take a nap and now have a slight headache, which i'm sure is from not being able to rehydrate fast enough. if and when i ever do a half marathon time trial, i'm gonna drive to the C&O canal and just do an out and back on the flatness. same plan for 5k time trial. on that note: i'm thinking about doing a road trip next month to visit some people in massachusetts and new york. tentative idea is to start around the 10th. so might be cool to target the 9th as a day to test my 5k. then again i bet i'll have plenty of time to run on the road trip. maybe it'd be better to treat the road trip as a taper week and then test when i get back. tbd.

- warm up; 400m intervals in (78, 81, 85, 84, 86, 84, 85, 79) w/3:00 rest; cool down
T+DI 130. felt great. a little humid still but so much cooler. once it gets into the 50s and dries up a little...oh baby. did these much faster than last week. felt each interval a little more still no struggle to complete. next weekend i'll switch to 500s with the same rest interval, unless for some reason it goes back to being really hot and humid.

well, yesterday there was massive flooding in my area. so i did not, in the event, "try again tomorrow." this was the next town over:
other places nearby had it worse.
anyway, today was cooler than it's been but still very humid.
- run 8.03 km in 49:01
T+DI 144. cruised at 4:51 average pace, including 5:01 for the first km and 5:10 on the long climb that makes up the penultimate km. felt great.
- stretch
so damn humid that even though it's not even 80 degrees i'm sweating 5 minutes after getting out of the shower.

really cool article on lowry and the fact that 98.75% of what happens in an NBA game is something other than the ball going through the net. truehoop is the only newsletter i subscribe to and actually read: https://www.truehoop.com/p/125-percent-of-basketball-is-scoring.

pretty thrilled for azarenka to beat serena, finally exorcise that demon. i watched the first set and then the first 4-5 games of the second set and it really did look like azarenka had flipped a switch and turned into a different player. wonder if serena's really hurt or if she was just going to the trainer to save face when it was clear that azarenka was cruising late.
i love serena but it's cool to see someone get a win after so long being dominated by a rival. not sure who i'd rather win the final. osaka is so fun but what a story if azarenka wins majors seven years apart, after having a kid and not winning a single match in 2019!

lol @ rondo's lob in the last minute.
also yeah SVG is a terrible announcer. why they have to have him AND his brother i do not understand. i know that's a hard job but surely they could find someone better.
also i like webber but agreed that reggie jackson is the best color guy going right now. and of course harlan is a legend.

seems to me lebron is carrying this team every bit as much as he carried cleveland 15 years ago. AD is a better player than any teammate he had back then but if i just feel like if it were AD's team they'd already have been knocked out, or maybe not even made the bubble. he's just missing something that lebron and very few other players have. that ability to just decide to take over, and then do it, on both O and D. who else in the NBA has that gear right now? maybe kawhi?
