- run 9.10 km in 45:23 [tempo 1 km @ 3:27 PR]

- SMR

- stretch

after i started running decided to drop the hammer at the 4 km mark. hit 3:27 per mapmyrun. never tested 1000m before but i was shooting for 3:30 and hit it so go me. en route hit 800 in ~2:47. walked 100m and then gradully picked it back up to normal pace.

there we go. hammer dropped. that's a solid K. moar hammer drops (when you are feeling good)

K's are a great distance to build aerobic strength with speed. same with the mile. K's definitely let you crank harder tho.

 

ya i haven't been following college bball much in recent years either.. but, with Zion, I will. He definitely seems like a generational talent. I mean his physicality/strength is SHAQ level, but he's more of a small forward, with guard-like handles.

So, just like LEBRON seems like a mix of MJ (jordan) and MJ (magic) to me, Zion seems like a mix of Barkley and SHAQ with some extra guard qualities. This kid is so strong it's unbelievable.

he seriously looks like he is in the NFL:



i'm curious to see how he fills out.. LMAO.



also, i'm so glad Grayson isn't on Duke with Zion.

soon!

hard speed!

- mile: 4:47 (-2s) !!! 
- 1km split: 3:00 !! dammit. so close to 2:59.. i mean i obviously have an "2:59 avg" in there, because it's 4:49.. but somehow I didn't get an actual split, based on how I ran it (slowing down a bit in certain spots).

THE ELUSIVE SUB3 km PLUS SUB 5 mile eludes me yet again!!!!

only thing i'm annoyed about, is how my garmin data says "4:48", but when the mile beeped, it said 4:47, and on my watch it says 4:47.. similar to my 29.97 200m last week, that showed in the data as 30.0. kinda odd.











happy.

boom. big mile PB. 4:47 (-2s) on grass w/ #spikes. felt this coming for the last week. pretty much held it at 4:50 then kicked it down to get the 4:47. then i let off a big yell🏃💪⛏🔨🇰🇪🇺🇸🤓😛
.
almost sub4:40, that's a big number for me, because it's the "All American Track Standard" for the mile in the 35-39 age group. would love to get that before the year is up, pretty confident i will 🤓 must stay focused and get it.
.
also, my #artiken bracelet. 🇰🇪😛

boom.

well that's a first..

finished up some code + ingest of some big data before going to sleep. ended up going to bed at like ~4 AM. completely knocked out (different planet). get awoken by dogs going crazy. takes a while to figure out what's going on. oh there's someone at the door. whose that? that's my boss. why is my boss at my door. hold on am i dreaming? open door:

"production is down"

fuck.

still wondering if this is real.

go get my laptop. fix production (took like 30 minutes).

 

what a wreck.

edit: great way to start page 565.

eh!

tldr: my boss literally drove ~35 minutes to my house to wake up me, telling me production (site/systems etc) was broken. that's so insane. feels awful. everything is good now, probably didn't cause too much damage (down 2 hours). but still, complete train wreck.

oh, the reason? not 100% sure yet but, max_connect_errors was triggered from our mysql db, which "firewalled" all of our internal instances. it seems kind of flukey, related to perhaps being 'overwhelmed' or ingesting tons of "duped out" records (which isn't an error to the code, a dup is fine).

so the db basically blocked our backend servers.

just disabled max_connect_errors...

hard speed!

placeholder: boom! another 1k (2:49) & 800m (2:15) lifetime PR.
