I got a post-doc position literally out of the blue on my first attempt.

So i went for a run for 1.2 miles. Sprinted/jog/walked.... was out of breath almost....

This is good, but i definitely will not be doing this too much.

counterpoint: do it more.

on the football players dunking vid, NB: cole beasley is 5'8" at most. the pump reverse two-hander he throws down at 1:05 is awesome. saw it originally on deadspin where the headline or caption or whatever was, "pro athletes are different from you and me." true.

- run 5.35km in 27:03
aaand right back to 5:03/km. this felt hard, though that might be in part because it was so cold this morning (below 50). i need gloves. no repeat of the weird right foot thing but knees are a little achey now ~20 mins after run finished. careful.

16:00 is elite. there's no way on god's green earth that 16:00 is the 90th percentile for all ages, let alone masters.

just checked actually and 16:00 would have placed 12th at the 2015 world masters athletics outdoor championships in the M35 category (i.e. 35-39 year-olds). that's pretty good.

the only person i know personally who could do it argued against the assisted chin up machine because in the real OAC your body twists. training with fixed knees doesn't help your body learn the movement at all.

here's his tutorial: http://www.beastskills.com/one-arm-chin-up-pull-up/

also, on the pin squats, it looks like your butt is drifting back after you set the bar down and you're losing tension. try to just tap the bar on the pins while keeping form intact, don't let yourself relax in the bottom. recipe for low back injury IMO.

vag continues to slay PRs. pretty good run you're on, my friend.

- run 6.15km in 32:03
after nearly two weeks of no running, right back to 5:12 pace. was down at about 5:00 relaxed before my brother arrived. meant to run less but forgot that it's MY house that's 2km from the track and my gf's place is farther. whoops. weird thing happened at the end where my right foot started to feel like it was juuust a little bit asleep. something to monitor.

- stretch

EDIT: also, several people have asked me in the last couple of weeks if i've lost weight. i believe them, i feel skinny. and i think i've been suppressing my appetite, or rather finishing meals before i'm done when the option to go for seconds is there. not sure why. a propos of the convo in adarq's journal, i do not want to lose weight. the shoulder thing is a huge pain because it prevents pretty much all compound upper work, which would at least make me feel like i'm not getting weaker. it's been three goddamn months now, time for some more serious action on the shoulder. maybe go to the doctor here. my colleague's been having shoulder issues and seeing a PT and ortho. will ask her.

word, all that makes sense.

the USATF masters all-american standard for 35-39 year olds in the 5k is 16:00. that is flying. go get it.
