hashed things out with the gf on saturday afternoon. made sense why she was upset, and i'm glad we talked it out. one difference between her and my ex, who i was with for 5+ years, is that my ex was a lot more like me: super emotionally self-contained and protective. current gf wears a lot more on her sleeve, has a lot more anxieties and less of the kind of deep self-confidence that my ex and i both have. and that's good for me, because it forces me to be more sensitive and to give more. ex and i never, ever fought, and so i was always holding back a little. she challenged me in some ways but not emotionally. like i can remember two serious arguments we had between the first time we hooked up and the day we broke up.

one of the things i love about current gf is that she lets me know if something i'm doing makes her feel bad. sometimes i think she's not being fair, but then she listens if i want to justify myself.

anyway.

- run 5km in 24:38
nice. let myself pace naturally until the last lap when i picked it up just a little.

- walk 500m

- stretch

rate of perceived exertion, usually on a scale of 1-10. so, how hard is it for you, with 10 being true max effort, to run 13.5-14.5?

i'm mirin` your dead-hang pullup PR.

+1

ETA: also, once shoulder is healthy and i can start doing proper upper body training again, i'm adding pull ups/chin ups to the list. gf's new roommate, who's also my friend, has a chin up bar. gonna race joe to the OAC.

what's the RPE for those 100s?

no real workout tonight, did do an hour-long swing dance class with gf, though. was fun, broke a light sweat.

according to that calculator i'm at 10-11% bodyfat and could stand to lose a bit over 2kg of fat and gain about 11kg of lean mass to reach my maximum muscular potential. seems legit but i'll never be that heavy inshallah.

yesterday

- treadmill run 4.2km in 25:11
walked first 2:30 and last 2:30

- GMB warm up

- stretch

so much sweat. good.

I am too lazy to use my head to read thru this and too dumb to understand it real fast. cliff notes please

 

agreed, lost me.
