- frisbee x 2 hours
soooo fun. a little sore in the shoulders back and hamstrings from yoga but warmed up nice. shoulder prob 85-90%. we'll see how it does tomorrow. also fun discovery: i'm in good shape now. that is, recovery much quicker between points than i'm used to.
i'm gonna be sore tomorrow. will do a long and slow run.

i think when i'm done with my running phase it'd be fun to go for chrism-lite. gain 15-16 pounds, get strong, lean out, jump around.

Basketball / Re: NBA 2017 - 2018 Season
« on: February 16, 2018, 05:32:34 am »I feel like a Randy Moss quite here qualifies for LBJ.
"I play when I wanna play"
randy moss is one of my favorite athletes to watch, ever, in any sport. GOAT. and him saying this was a living argument for my hobby horse that criticizing super-elite athletes for not working harder is ludicrous. maybe he needed to smoke all that weed and take plays off to be the best or at worst second-best person to do his particular job in the history of that job, and if he'd worked harder or stayed clean he'd have burned out or got hurt or whatever.

« on: February 16, 2018, 04:27:39 am »Hapkido class last night. 90 minutes of pure sweat which was cool but copped a knee right on my left VMO which is currently killing me. Massive corky. I was planning to take the weekend easy anyway so it probably won't hurt me too much. My wife is doing a 70.3 on Sunday so we're getting geared up to go away for that. Can't wait. Now that I'm more interested in triathlon it'll be a lot more interesting than the last one where I was there purely to see her run past every 1-2 hours.
bad ass.

yeah i don't know, 500s at sub-20 pace feel easy but 1000s at sub-21 feel hard. although i've only done the latter a couple of times and neither time in great physical conditions. i will go for a 5k time trial at some point in the near future, after doing a little mini-taper. original plan was to go for sub-21:00 by 21 february but i'll push it back a bit.
there are no races here, it's just not a thing. i wish.
i'm next in the states in may, might try to find a race for while i'm home.

morning
- run ~4 km in ??
struggled, mornings are hard. gotta reorient bedtime if i'm gonna start running in the morning before it gets hot out. forgot watch so not sure about time or exact distance but i did 4 km worth of laps at the track.
- stretch
will run again later.
EDIT: evening
- run 7.67 km in 36:53
4:48 pace. did not look at watch until the end. mostly kept it a shade above easy, picked it up to 4:05 or so for the last couple hundred meters just for funsies. slightly disappointed in the overall pace but that's okay.
- stretch
another note: the garmin forerunner 235 hr monitor is supposed to be unreliable, but it's interesting to look at the trendline on the run today: steadily up from 135 to 152 over the course of the run.

re: physique and muscle mass, i noticed yesterday morning that i looked bigger in the mirror than usual, after my monday night calisthenics. very low volume. that was probably purely psychological -- my weight hasn't changed significantly and i'm certainly no less lean than usual so i doubt i've lost much muscle after the switch to running -- but still nice to see/feel.

- interval workout
-- warm up run 2.00 km @ 4:53 pace
-- 500m x 7 @ [1:58, 1:56, 1:58, 1:58, 1:56, 1:58, 1:57], 1:00 walking rest
-- cool down run 1.76 km @ 5:40 pace (dead, calves especially right not into it, took a couple short walking breaks)
mental game. brain still bargaining with me to cut the number of intervals short but i did one more than last time. fuck you brain. total distance 8.09 km, total time 40:28.
- stretch
also this keeps me over 40 km for the last seven-day period.

last night
- GMB warm up
- pirouettes x some
- front levers x some
- handstands x some
- pull ups x some
- hollow body holds x some
- stretch
25-30 mins in total, just wanted to get upper body involved a little. resting legs after the 11 km on sunday, plus it was absolutely pouring rain. don't mind a little cold or a little rain, but pouring rain in 45-degree weather: hard pass. if it's raining again tonight i'll go to the gym, otherwise it's interval time.

gz on the marathon PR of ~160 hours

i've been surfing exactly once, last summer, and can confirm the "pure bliss" feeling from the one or maaaybe two times i managed to really stand up and ride a wave for a little bit. also that shit is absolutely exhausting and i was super dehydrated afterward.
w/r/t wanting to mix it up, only thing in there that suggest you might want to try something different is "elbows taking a beating." otherwise if you're making progress, keep riding it out until that slows down. if you're worried about your elbows then yeah, maybe try something else. my $0.02 on the matter.
