I can't wait to purchase another house!!! Currently I have 671k worth of property (bank valuation from September 2018) and debts against those properties of 560k. My plan is to work on reducing my debts against my PPOR and then purchasing another house in late 2019/early 2020.

damn nice!!

rest day!

top of right foot hurting all day.. started feeling it in the morning. but then it disappeared after i had my dinner (2 x milkshakes + big burger). heh.

adductors a bit sore from sitting in a new chair at work yesterday.. went back to the old chair to try and not cause any more damage. lmfao. fml. ;d

legs definitely recovering with the rest day + big eating. should feel great tomorrow. should feel even better saturday, where i hope to run hard.

11/29/2018

<= 4:59 mile vs <= 2:59 km:
- 11 (sub5) + 15 (sub3) = 26 of 50, 24 to go!

top3 finishes:
2018: 29/40 (stay healthy!)
2017: 6/12
2016: 4/10
2015: 0/2
2006: 0/1

diet:
- ate big
- broc/cauli/grilled chicken stir fry in the morning
- bananas/beet juice for lunch
- 2 x milkshakes & a big (feels like nearly 1 lb.) burger

not my photo, but this is what the blanco burger looks like.. it's so good:



stuffed. feel good tho.

Have to get used to sprinting on a treadmill.

bro. why.

I just see so much benefits with treadmill training turn over rate, muscle memory, motor neuron recruitment and other stuff, but it won't last long, because of lack of treadmill at high speed.

i feel like it'd have benefits for running, not as much for sprinting. could be some benefits there but risk/mechanics/limitations seem to outweigh the benefits IMHO.

on the other hand, for running, could really help with pacing. it's much easier to find access to a treadmill that can go 12 mph, as compared to say 20 mph. 12mph is a very fast pace for most people when it comes to running, so anywhere from 10.5-12mph would probably accommodate most people.

just surprised myself going off two feet RL plant. was able to touch 10'2 off 1 step pretty easily, and was using my left hand too.

nice!!

Alright I may be too lazy to update everything, so maybe just my daily weight and my workouts for now. i can track calories and protein on my phone

194lbs this morning

ya tracking all of that in different places is hard. lol.

Unfortunately the max speed of the treadmill at the gym is 23km/h.
I was going to gradually work up to 36km/h see how it feels but that's not possible anymore, will have to see if I can find another place to use just for treadmill or buy my own if financially possible.

You know, there's no speed limit on a track....

That's true, but there is a limit to my speed.

ya i'd never buy a treadmill. if some facility has one that goes way up in speed to occasionally use, cool. if not, real sprinting.

Buying one after looking is just financially impossible, they are purpose built and wouldn't be used that much and so I go around and look for any facilities but I doubt it so I guess it's back to my favorite track work, which is reverse of over-speed training is resistance training, sled work.

don't forget slight downhill sprint work, and wind-assisted sprint work .. two fundamental forms of overspeed. wind-aided is safer and feels great. use nature sometimes, feels normal. :highfive:

- run 7.57 km in 38:56

- stretch

right at good relaxed pace (5:08) but felt rusty. on the bright side, as i was getting home the guard from two houses down flagged me to stop and said that someone inside wanted to talk to me. curious, i waited. out came the brazilian deputy ambassador, who said he'd seen me running and wanted to tell me about a new track that's near our neighborhood. and that he'd be happy to run with me because it looks like i'm up for training. "really nice training," he said. and he gave me his card. funny.

that's cool hah.

It's mildy difficult to explain...but...here goes 😂🤷‍♂️

I never had an issue until I got hit by a drunk driver one night. I was sore but, having been in a, ahem, few wrecks before I figured it was normal. Well it wasn't. Something happened to my right side spinal erectors. It first happened a few months after the wreck. Warmup deadlift. It "popped". Like I can feel it and HEAR it in my head. And it's like I pull it? There's like a golf ball sized tight spot there. Severity just depends on my stupidity afterward and how bad the initial pop was. I've seen a PT and he said it acts like I "threw" my back out (ie slipped disc or something) but it's not centered spinally? It's definitely an erector issue and so far only that right side. The few times it's been worse than average acupuncture and dry needling has seriously relieved it which points towards a muscular issue? It's weird lol!

That said this one wasn't too bad. It's mildly tight today but no soreness or pain. I managed some light jumps and DB lunges and RDLs (light) last night and woke up with no discernable issues. The week off definitely helped tho. I felt "weak" but my legs felt so light. Very "quick" in warmups just lacking some oomph. I think this is what it feels like to be fully recovered CNS/muscular wise 😂

eeeek damn.

sounds like you can do alot with it tho, so that's a good sign, especially if you can jump high (and land) without tweaking it. so i like the idea below. just avoid flaring it up for a long time, strengthen in different ways.

That said Im going to skip heavy back/front squats and deadlifts for the month of December and hit some lunge variations and maybe some SL DB BSS or possibly RDL and see how I respond. Should keep me fresher and allow my body to fully recover from spinal stressors I put on it weekly. Worst case my max lifts go down some. Best case I become more balanced unilaterally and hopefully that shows in some speed and explosive movements

^^ good idea.

also, max lifts while "worrying" about an issue like that aren't really max anyway.

more hard speed.

feel better but legs dead (dead but powerful).

also, right hamstring/glute tie in has been slowly getting more achy since last week, when i started including more slow running volume. i started feeling it after/during those runs. just a little ache that's grown.

thurs/fri = complete rest. hopefully that makes a bunch of aches disappear.

legs are thrashed from yesterday. however, they do feel powerful, so that's good. so, happy about the K. would like to do a hard mile tomorrow maybe but, might be too fatigued. definitely will get one in saturday tho eeh (race).

had to slow up slightly in a few spots during the 1k, somewhat busy sidewalk.

meant to run last night but started to get a headache on the drive home and it became crippling. went to bed at 9:30 and slept for 10 hours instead. head still hurts a bit this morning. but not a migraine. weird.

sucks :/ seems to happen quite often lately.

i've had a headache/jaw ache since getting bit by a mosquito (or something) 2 days ago. it's kind of crazy. bit my on my cheekbone and there's all kinds of pain in there. hoping i don't have zika. :<
