on the plus side, today i finally got into grad school (17th grade! scholastic level PR!) (also what up, joe, i'm moving to london) and my organization signed a multimillion-dollar grant that will enable us to do some great work.

Sweet. We'll have to go running together when you get here! Where are you going to be studying? I'm guessing SOAS?

for sure. and climbing, although i'm shit at it.

master's will be at UCL, actually. my political tendencies are lefty like SOAS but that's part of why i went for UCL: wariness of the echo chamber.

my gf and i were at a party in some big rich person's house. she was running for president against donald trump and he was also there, although we didn't interact with him. until we were leaving, that is, when i found him in a bathroom, still wearing a suit but with his hair wet and plastered against his head and brushing his teeth using a bamboo toothbrush with very short bristles and some red powder (instead of toothpaste). he said something about how lovely it was to meet us and thanks for coming. and i said, "well, mr. president, given that my partner is about to debate you on live tv tomorrow night, i hope you get a horrible night's sleep." he looked shocked, like he couldn't believe i'd been so rude. and we left.

- run 9 km in 48:17, walk ~0.6km

- stretch

struggled tonight although pace ended up being okay and i came in faster than i went out. 34-35 degrees and very humid. bargained myself down to 9k around the 6k mark. not a good habit to get into but i felt shitty.

rest day today but gf wanted to go to the gym so i figured i'd do some cross-training.

- warm up

- handstand practice x a bit

- barefoot pistol practice x a bit

- pull up x 9+3+3+2

- dip +5kg x 10+3+3+3

- kroc row 26kg x 21L,21R
too horizontal

- circuit x 2
-- leg lowers x 10
-- SL glute hold x 20s/side

- stretch

- run 15.01 km in 1:23:07
distance PR for sure this time. a little faster than i meant to go (5:32 average, although with a lot of variation). had to poop around 7 km in.

**later**

- SMR glutes, hamstrings, calves

- stretch

man when was the last time any of y'all had an ear infection? i've got one right now and it SUCKS. right ear will feel fine for a few minutes and then BAM, wave of pain. hope it goes away on its own.

- run 10.05 km in 52:52
5:15 pace is the quickest medium-length run in a while. humidity 74%. my poor yoga mat is getting soaked and re-soaked in sweat. also my gf dropped her kettlebell on it the other day and punched a little hole in. thing's going through a rough time.

- stretch
