- run 1 km

- interval run 500m x 2, ~3:00/km pace
let's just say i don't think a 15:00 5k is in my future.

- walk 250m, run 250m

- pull ups x 10,4
lolllllll first set was alright though

- some other random crap, handstands and pirouettes and TTB

- stretch

not much of a plan going in except to see what it was like to run fast. didn't even have a target pace in mind. but it's good to know what 3:00/km feels like.

+8 million for the importance of habits. do you floss? start with that if you don't.

  lol i'm not a caveman, i still take showers ocassionally and change my underwear ocassionally.

lol, it's an example from some internet fitness guru whose name i forget. he was making a point about roids: if you're not disciplined enough to floss, you're not even close to disciplined enough to take advantage of chemical enhancement. point is just that discipline and consistency are everything and forming habits is a way to make those easier.

tobacco completely fine for you, say scientists hired by tobacco companies.

global warming is not caused by humans, say scientists hired by oil companies.

same old, same old.

why not rest in advance of regionals and try to get knee as near 100% as possible before you play? incremental improvement at practice between now and then likely to be minimal, not worth the risk.

dumb question but...paypal?

yesterday

- fuck all
 

today

- warm up

- scales x 5,5/leg
tension headache/neckache started almost immediately on the upper right side of my neck/base of skull. would have done more of these but that was too weird. still there mildly, an hour later.

- front lever holds @3-5s x a bunch
pretty solid

- handstand wall kick ups x a bunch
pretty solid

- stretch

shoulder felt fine throughout. static holds don't seem to bother it.

so much better than the previous vid.

For me, Penn and Teller: Fool Us is the greatest TV show of all time. Simple premise: Magicians try to do tricks that fool Penn and Teller, and the prize is that they get to appear in P&T's act in Vegas. Three reasons I love it:

1. Many of the tricks are incredible in their own right. Even the ones that don't fool the hosts are usually beautiful or amazing or both.
2. Penn and Teller are always kind and positive. The whole atmosphere on the show is one of supporting and sharing love for a weird, niche craft that is ultimately a really hard way to make a living for most of the people doing it professionally. Everybody feels good. It's wonderful. It's similar to the British show QI for that reason: everyone is rooting for each other. Watching people be generous is extremely gratifying.
3. When they get fooled, it's because the magician did something stupefying. Cases in point:
