- run 10.0 km in 54:40
met up with friend, ran in park. extremely conversational pace for me, this is longer than he usually runs. i might do some speed/tempo work in the afternoon. glorious morning.

edit: no second run today. spent the afternoon painting furniture and then got really hungry before dinner. unusual for me but anyway no running right after eating.

T+DI 147, god i hope this is the last summerish day of the year. improvised a new and very hilly course. watch says 95m elevation gain but honestly that seems implausibly low. maybe it's just that the steepest and longest uphills were all on the way back. legs felt dead to start out with and stayed that way.

- stretch

It’s so weird that they’re doing the post game on court interview charade.

they always do that tho, for winning the conference finals.

yeah but, like, in the past they've been addressing a crowd. this was mimicking that but with no live audience except the media and a couple of family members. just looked weird.

you definitely have more to show for it than at the end of a run. might do some more this afternoon if it's not raining.

yesterday

- run 7.5 km in ~39 mins
my best friend is unexpectedly in town from san francisco, so i met up with him and went for a run. i'm in better shape than he is so this was shorter and slower than i'd normally do on a sunday, but who cares. we'll probably do some more runs together in the next few weeks while he's in town.

yeah the original is great, too. i'm an absolute sucker for sappy love songs. give me some whitney houston "how will i know," talking heads "naive melody," mariah carey "always be my baby," jackie wilson "higher and higher," bill withers "lovely day," etc. etc. etc. etc.

- run 10.5 km in ?
watch was out of batteries so i ran free. headache gone. it was a bit warm and humid today but nothing too bad.

i just transcribed my first song. this version of "everywhere" by fleetwood mac: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPbeGd-GszA.

a super easy song (almost 100% power chords and you can see her hands basically the whole time), but still, that's not something i could do at the beginning of the year.

now to go learn it...

day 2 of headache. not as bad today. i think it's like the ones i was getting a year ago, related to something in my traps, so i've been massaging and doing mobility stuff (my self-massager is packed in a box somewhere in the basement).

also i tweaked my back picking something up. no run.

fwiw these are by far the best masks i've used: https://www.all-ett.com/collections/masks-for-covid19

the ones with ties are great for running because they're easy to pull up and pull down. and they all stay away from my mouth and nose even when they get sweaty. a lot of other masks get clingy.

frank yang is a legend. he must have one of the longest youtube careers out there. like almost fifteen years at this point. just unbelievably prolific.

i've been watching a lot of guitar-centered music and this dude keeps showing up in my feed. i'm mostly not that into him: he's a technical wizard but i find him kind of antiseptic and boring. but this video is bananas because of the arrangement and his ability to play it so perfectly. the original song has three guitar parts (acoustic, electric, and pedal steel) plus a bass and he somehow manages to convey all of them with just a single telecaster. [quake 3 announcer voice]: impressive.
