- demolish bathroom floor x 2.5 hours
guy's coming tomorrow to put new tiles down and i had to rip up the old tile before he gets here. hammer, putty knife, chisel, and a lot of elbow grease. it's funny, i went to practice guitar just now and it was like i'd regressed three months. hands are just wiped out. carpenters are strong as shit, man.

ya they are. those "manual" jobs build some serious strength. my fingers/hands/forearms been wrecked lately from this farm life. pulling roots/weeds, digging holes, cutting down trees/branches.

years down the road might have some serious hand/forearm development .. jaja.

more morgan wallen, dude is solid.

shit slowly hitting fan. the thing i helped organize this morning was a bit chaotic but ultimately a success i think. not massively, but we did what we set out to do. woke up at 4:45 and couldn't get back to sleep, was pretty wired.

damn good work.

hoping somehow biden can open up these leads. worried about what 45 and his minions have in store - they've been plotting for a while now, probably anticipating this exact scenario.

bleh. nervous.

w/o:

- yard work from 8 AM to 4 PM:
  pulling weeds/bushes/plants/vines, chopping down stuff, mowing everything, practicing knife throwing.. hah.

farm life.

i'm beat.. plan to do more tomorrow. cleaned up a ton of spots. looks great!

also met some more neighbors, cool folks.

and.. voted!

was worried that my address change would cause some problems.. but it didn't at all. was no problem.



OH.. and the poll worker guiding people into the voting center stopped me: hey, you into track and field? i'm like yea, love it. (I was wearing my black kenya t&f shirt)
.
he tells me he was a head track & field coach in the 70's .. guy knew his stuff. he's 70 years old now. Name was "Lou" iirc.

anyway we talked for like 30 min about training, strategy, old track & field races, and even new stuff (like donovan brazier). Guy was legit, he knew all of it. hah.

pretty cool.

pc!

- warm up; intervals 400m in [85, 88, 87, 85, 87, 87, 86, 83] w/3:00 jogging rest; cool down
total distance just over 9 km. this workout is better with jogging rest (walking is too easy).

there was a group running at the track that actually looked pretty fit, one guy was really flying. i talked to them afterwards and turns out this is a regular thing, they belong to a local running club and have been working out together on wednesday evenings. got the fast dude's email (he did an 11:38 2-mile and then what must have been a similarly quick mile with a few minutes of rest in between) and will try to hook up with them in the future. would be cool to have a group to train with, especially if someone in the group is fitter than i am.

awesome man! training with a good group can be pretty fun, and really elevate your running crazy fast. it's awesome how the "pack" just boosts your ability so quick.

sounds like a good group to run with occasionally, nice !

sux about the kinvaras. any shoe that causes blisters/toenail pain etc, have to ditch em immediately - never gets better. i wrecked so many toenails like that, being stubborn about a particular shoe or wanting them snug (but too snug).

hope all is good w/ zeta.

pc man!
