someone please explain short-sleeved hoodies to me.

last night

worked until 8 PM, was wiped out by the time i got home. thought for two seconds about running then said, fuck it, and had dinner and a beer. back on the horse tonight inshallah.

lol maybe we will. for the time being, give me desert summer over subtropical autumn any day.

- run 8.60 km in 44:28
had been getting too cute with last few runs, need to remind myself that the bread and butter remains LISS.

- stretch

seven-day total is 54.6 km and i'm on track for my first ever calendar week over 50 km. somehow despite several seven-day stretches over 50km i haven't hit that number from a sunday to a saturday yet.

- run 9.2 km in 45:48 [tempo 1 km x 3:45; 500m @3:42, dead]
struggle bus. very humid, felt pre-crampy. shut it down, finished chill. ugh.

- stretch

not every workout can be a good workout.

- run 9.68 km in 51:33 [strides x 30s, 20s, 30s]
right knee pulling a bit on the first stride rep, which i did starting at 3 km. second rep okay, third rep pulling a little again.

- stretch

not so hot but the humidity is back in a big way. woof.

no doubt. in all seriousness i bet you could get there with patience, if you set it as a goal and really focused on it.

- run 9.06 km in 46:22
5:07 pace, right on target for a relaxed run with 19:30 5k pace as the goal, based on that one training calculator i used months ago.

- stretch

57.3 km seven-day volume, which is a huge (>10%) PR and probably also means i should take a day off tomorrow just in the interest of not pushing myself too fast, AERS, etc. if gf wants to do yoga maybe i'll do that. 

faffing is a great word that i've picked up from my (british) gf. great word.

morning joint circles are smart, should get back to doing something like that. only takes ~5 minutes to go top to bottom, feels great.
