Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: a fast and explosive donkey!

- run 1.74 km in 9:41

- stretch

plus side: foot feels okay. down side: legs feel super beat up, especially soleus and quads. not sure what that's about. mileage has been really down so this makes no sense. my last hard workout was saturday, maybe it's residual from that? bah.

- run 6.03 km in 31:06

- stretch

something screwy from the first step in the sole of my left foot. spot of discomfort toward the front of the arch, more medial than lateral but not exactly behind the big toe. i haven't had plantar issues in years, since i really adapted to the arthritis. will be a bummer if this turns into something. not painful or uncomfortable enough to affect gait during the run but it's bugging me still now, half an hour later. plan is to run another easy 6-7 km tomorrow morning and then tempo in the evening but i'll see how the foot feels.

why doing the arm swings with DBs? speed comes from the arm, per your signature quote. why slow them down?

last night

- run 6.01 km in 30:58

- stretch

it was 100 degrees out

just a curious question what makes you post your distances in metric kilometers but you posted the temp in Fahrenheit?(pretty sure it was not 100 degrees Celsius)

lol yes the air was steamy but not full of literal steam. i usually post in both when i post temps, just lazy this morning. i live outside the US now and so i have to use metric most of the time, but i'm american and fahrenheit will always be easier. plus "it's 100" sounds hotter than "it's 37.8."

for distance km>miles because that's what races and tracks are measured in, and base ten is easy to use

lagat winning is bonkers but isn't it a bad sign for US running that a 43 year old won a national title?

you been reading hanif abdurraqib?

nope? i think i have seen them on twitter a fair bit though. any particular reason you mention/particular recommendations?

he refers to friends very often as "pals," which you did in a recent post. it's unusual, most people i know don't use that word. i just read they can't kill us until they kill us, which i liked okay -- at his best he's brilliant and unique, nobody else writes about music like that -- but which got old before i finished. better encountered in bits and pieces i think.

last night was tired to the point of feeling vaguely sick. no run. this has been a rough week.

- run 8.06 km in 41:20

- stretch

at least it's not quite as hot as it's been (low 30s/high 80s instead of high 30s/~100).

today marks six months since my brother died.

rest in peace, jack.
