crippling headache again today, starting around lunchtime. took anti-migraine meds, much self-massage, a heat patch, and a nap and have been feeling fine the last hour or so. suspicious timing coincidence, leading up to a race. i wonder if i'm subconsciously so worked up about tomorrow that it's giving me a headache. consciously, i'm nervous and i will be sad and disappointed if i don't hit my goal tomorrow. so there is -- unusually for me -- some anticipatory anxiety on the surface. but it doesn't feel that bad. or maybe i'm fooling myself and have put myself under more pressure than i want to admit?

anyway, headache's gone and unless i'm fucking catatonic tomorrow i'm going to run. deep breaths.

yup. apparently he was adarq.org member number four. don't remember if he could ever dunk, at least while he was posting on here. http://www.adarq.org/profile/?u=4

amazing progress on the weight/fat loss. reminds me of maxent when he was cutting, although without the constant self-flagellation.

do you feel like the mobility/joint health work is making any difference? you've also been really consistent with that. couple weeks ago you mentioned that a shoulder pain had gone away. how about the knee stuff?

buying a house in south florida just seems like a crazy long-term investment to me. storms are gonna get worse (or bad storms more frequent; tomayto tomahto), sea level's going up. same goes for anywhere along the water on the east coast, especially in the southeast but even in places like the jersey shore. like, are flood and hurricane insurance even available anymore? if so, don't they cost an absolute mint?

what are people saying about it down there? the climate crisis and its impact on the area, i mean. really curious actually.

total annihilation 

- run 10.06 km in 47:45
another 10k "PR", 47:30. kicked a bit in the last 500-600m or so, pace was down around 4:15 for that stretch. nice run.

signed up -- and actually made sure it went through this time -- for a race in victoria park on 15 december. joe/gukl, y'all gonna be around/interested? VP isn't as flat as battersea but i know it super well by now so that will hopefully help. 1.5 laps of the upper portion, no street crossing.

thanks vag and joe. unfortunately i've had a headache for the last four days. it's faded at times and never quite reached migraine strength, but it gets pretty bad. i had to lie down and take a nap on thursday evening, which is very unusual for me. also, it's moved around (right temple for the first three days, then left temple last night and this morning when i woke up, and now both temples). woke up this morning with it switched very on. standing up and walking around is a slow process, no question of being able to run. so no race.



gf convinced me to go to the A&E/ER about it, so i'll head up there in a bit. i've been headache-prone my whole life, i'm used to getting them, but this is weird.
