big ups on finishing in the 99.998th percentile on strava! that is dope.
the lady that won the month ran almost 100km a day!
thought that must be a lie but clicked through and apparently she's running from SF to NYC. so kind of checks out. the cynic in me is still skeptical though.

- run 5.00km in 23:12
didn't mean for this to be a goal attempt but got close anyway. died a little on last two laps but if i'd pushed harder i could have gotten under 23:00 a month ahead of schedule.
- walk 0.5km
- stretch
some very mild tightness in right hamstring. something to monitor, no hard runs for at least a few days. and i'm gonna see if my gf can pick up a foam roller while she's out doing errands today.
will either do a long easy run this weekend or a longer hike.

QuoteHe continues to dominate inside the paint, where he’s averaging 23.7 points per game on 75 percent shooting. By comparison, when Shaquille O’Neal won the MVP award in 1999-00 while leading the league in scoring, he averaged 22.5 points in the paint per game on 61 percent shooting in that area.
Giannis is Shaq now. He’s a seven-foot-tall point guard who is Shaq.

still felt like shit yesterday evening so bagged the run. gf's neighbor's goddamn rooster woke me up in the middle of the night, first time that's happened in a while.
- run 6.51km in 33:50
lost ~1.5-2 minutes to road crossings. need to try to keep pushing start time a bit earlier so i can avoid the school rush; having to stop dead sucks. still, 5:11 pace is an improvement for a mostly road run where i was deliberately not pushing.
- stretch
ETA: hit 5k today in 25:54, which if you take away the road crossings is definitely sub-25. something else to track on longer runs.

happened to michigan's left tackle, grant newsome, early last year. doctors saved his leg and he may yet play again, but he's still recovering now more than a year later and won't be ready to play until next year at the earliest.
terrifying.

thing i noticed in your running vids/pics that may be neither here nor there: you hold your chin quite far up/forward, and the back of your neck is really short. wonder what difference it'd make to cue yourself to run taller. personally if i cue myself straighten my neck out, or think "giant pulling a string up through the crown of my skull," my shoulders relax back automatically and my posture improves. i think, although should get vid to verify, that the reverse is also true: the relaxed shoulders cue i give myself while running straightens out my neck.

- run 1km
- run intervals 0.5km x 4, 60s rest
2:00, 1:54, 1:57, 1:57 -- all still faster than i meant, was targeting 2:15/lap. but felt manageable, so i think i'll probably keep 500s at this pace and build up to 6 and then 8. it's at my eventual target pace in any case: 1:57/km extrapolates to a 19:30 5k.
- cool down run/walk x 0.9km
lol, +1 correct. comes from a guy i knew in HS who played baseball and was famously intense (he once broke another friend of ours's nose over a game of four square at lunch) and socially awkward. he named his bat gejuflo and the word has stuck with me ever since.

also, i've been struggling to figure out what gejuflo means lmao. brain isn't filling in the blank, and the term isn't on google. help!

road.
- stretch
just to gejuflo and keep educating myself about what different paces feel like. 4:42/km pace on the road feels faster than normal but not unsustainable.
tomorrow morning intervals with gf unless something weird happens.
