that's interesting about juggling improving coordination and learning. i started learning guitar a few months ago and it's been super cool to be a complete noob at something so complicated and endless. i took piano lessons for a few years as a little kid (stopped when i was ~12) and really wish i'd stuck with it long enough so that i didn't have to re-learn how to read sheet music. it's not that relevant for guitar, at least at the level i'm at, but it'd still be so helpful to have that additional language as i get better.

plus learning guitar is making me want to pick up piano again.

why in the name of all that is good and holy did i wait until i was 33 to start learning music in earnest?

anyway brb adding one minute of continuous three-ball juggling to my list of goals.

how low are you trying to go w/r/t bodyfat? 12% is pretty dang lean.

- warm up x 1 km; 400 intervals x 10 in [1:37, 1:39, 1:34, 1:38, 1:39, 1:38, 1:39, 1:38, 1:38, 1:23] w/100 jogging rest; cool down x 1 km
T+DI 130, felt amazing. kicked a wee bit on the last interval just for fun and because i could: the Rx'd pace (4:03-4:08) was set for a hotter, humider day.

- stretch

man the clippers made murray disappear like a freaking magic trick.

- warm up x 2 km; tempo 1 km x 3 in [4:08, 4:01, 4:00] w/1 km jogging rest; cool down x 3.1 km (w/ one ~350m walking break)
T+DI 164, dew point highest i've ever seen it at 78. pretty happy with the intervals, though. total distance 10.1 km

- stretch

what was the weather like? strong correlation between temp/dew point and HR and work capacity for me.

- run 18.64 km in 1:36:14
T+DI 140 and holy shit does that make a difference. just gorgeous outside, dew point a good ten degrees lower than it's been. averaged 5:10 with plenty in the tank to kick a little in the last 500m just for fun. dad biked alongside.

- stretch

the more i think about it, the more i think trying to break 1:40 in a half marathon time trial would be a fun thing to do once it gets properly cool in the fall.

- warm up x 2 km; extensive tempo x 3 km in [4:10, 4:04, 4:03]; cool down x 4.05 km
T+DI 152; not that hot but dew point as high as i've ever seen it. so humid. the tempo section was an out-and-back but mostly uphill since i turned around beyond the halfway point.

- stretch
