friday
- walk 4 km in 58:29
stretching legs after car ride. narrowly avoided getting pulled into an old guy's house for tea.
saturday
- walk 9.5 km in ~2:45:00
up miranjani top, 2992m/9816'. 605m/1985' elevation gain from the start of the hike. walked with my friends most of the way; they moved slower than me; most people do on hikes. toward the end of the ascent i got impatient and just barreled ahead, was huffing and puffing pretty good. the air is noticeably thinner above 2000m.
today
- run 8.25 km in 40:54
very easy, kept strictly to four breaths in, four breaths out. knees a wee bit achey now but i except that'll go away shortly.

going to the mountains this weekend (the close-by ones, not the big ones). will do at least one hike with the group, and if i can convince anyone to go with me i'll also run. the place is safe but less so than here and i don't know it well, so bad looks to head out alone. the two main peaks near where we're staying are both around 3000m. i hiked up one last fall so will agitate for the other.
related: i'm sitting at my desk at work and all i want to do is go out and run some more. good feeling. tomorrow morning long and easy.

- warm up run x 1.5 km
- hill sprints ~280m x 5, jog down recovery
- cool down 3.7 km
total distance 8.01 km*, total time 43:05. hills were hard but not as hard as last time. two friends came, which made it more fun, easier to push.
- stretch
*actually 8.4 km, but garmin decided to restart itself just as i hit the button to start running. nice. also its altimeter is hilarious, apparently the first hill sprint was actually a descent.

- run 9.2 km in 45:20
pretty hilly and overall downhill then up: 44m of elevation gain. but i took it really easy on the steep hills and otherwise tried to just run relaxed. ended up at 4:55 pace, which is better than the other day for a longer run. i'll take it.

now all i want to do is miles and miles and more miles. didn't run this morning because gf correctly told me that i should give myself a little longer to recover than 14 hours after distance/duration PR. will not run tonight but tomorrow morning gonna get up early and do at 9+ km. 8 km needs to be the new minimum, including days with hill/speed work. got fired up by adarq's 5k PR and now i really want the damn 19:xx. mileage is the key and i'm not getting enough.

seems like a surprisingly high number of races include some kind of logistical clusterfuck. i don't get it, as a race organizer you have one job: make a course that people can run along for a period of time. how hard can that be? especially if it's not the first time you've organized a particular event.

- run 11.17 km in 1:03:50
first 5.3 with gf, so very slow (~6:15-6:20 pace), then peeled off and kept going at ~5:10 pace. distance PR, i think. definitely duration PR, first time running for longer than one hour.
- stretch
meant to run yesterday but had evening plans and lots of work to do, ended up working until it was too late.

looks like you overcompensated a bit and now you're too bent over to get any push.
props for making it to the track in those conditions. looks nasty.
