found this, great photo.. haha!!! me happily discussing my Kenya shirt & Saucony Endorphin Racer v2's with some folks.

love my shitty posture, was just a noodle before the race starts, relaxing.



^^ also, guy with ethiopia shorts was the one I was talking about.. actually makes me happy to see Kenya vs Ethiopia, ie just some random folks proudly representing their running cultures in Sunrise Florida for a 5k race.

it's pretty cool when you think about it.

^^ watched that last night btw. not today. just clarifying. lol.

4:03 is not faster than 5:00 , its almost faster than 4:00. I know what you're saying, im just saying

haha. agreed.

8km including km tempos in 40 minutes is pretty badass!!! 

I dno.

I like Kawhi, but I wouldn't even put him on DeRozan's level (yet). DeRozan has proven himself to be able to carry a team, consistently, year after year. Kawhi has not. Kawhi had alot of help early on in his career, an incredible team/organization/coach. Even then, his abilities weren't mindblowing. He hasn't been "the leader" for too many years, only like 2?

Without Lebron in the East, do you go with the question-mark, or do you guy with the sure thing? Do you go with Kawhi who will be a free agent after 1 year (I think?) and will undoubtedly leave, or do you go with the lifer? Do you go with the guy who is coming off a major injury (missed basically all of last season), or do you go with the guy who has proven durable his whole career?

No brainer for me -> DeRozan.

To me, it still makes absolutely no sense.

Also, look at how mad DeRozan has been following the trade. This guy was committed to Toronto. He'd have given everything to get them to the finals, year after year. Kawhi was pretty much good riddance to the Spurs..

DeRozan 100%

This guy I raced with today, is followed by Eliud Kipchoge on IG.. wut?

LMAO.

I got first OA @ 17:48. He got 2nd OA. Talked to him for a bit, he's an Interesting dude, not sure what he's about but he just got back from Ethiopia and knows alot about the elite running world, said he's friends with Dibaba/Disesa/etc.

But ya.. followed by Eliud Kipchoge.. I mean that's pretty incredible. LOL.

Beach To Beacon 10k, 2016

too bad they dont show they actual ending, cuts off like 4 minutes.. great race.

incredible how "easy" they make that first mile look, which was 4:50. Then they go on dropping 4:3X's and 4:2X's.

front camera view always makes running look slower but that first mile looked so easy it's astonishing.

signed up for a 5k tomorrow.

trying to focus on just PR'n my 2 miles. been way too long to not go sub11. doesn't even make sense tbh.. 11:09 for 2 miles is my PR, and that happened in a 3.1. I should be able to hit 2 in under 11 min. Seems more like a mental barrier at this point. Going to try and crack it tomorrow I think.

cool story:

some dude (worker at the restaurant) gets my attention at true foods kitchen.. says:

him: "excuse me?"
me: "hey"
him: "are you from Kenya?" (looking at my Kenya bracelet)
me: "hahahaaha. no, I follow the running culture of Kenya. Love Kenya."
me: "this bracelet is straight from Iten Kenya though!"
me: "where are you from?"
him: "Nairobi"
me: "ah awesome. they just announced today that Nairobi will host the 2020 IAAF World Championships"
him: "cool"

"are you from Kenya?" <-- haha.

I think he just didn't know what to ask me, or how to ask why I was wearing a Kenya bracelet. You could see he was very surprised, but also very happy.

pretty cool.

a beautiful bracelet indeed.. i truly love it. ordered one last week from Artiken, which will arrive in like 2-6 months lmao. Takes them forever apparently, so many orders, all hand made.
