Legs felt really good. HR was high during w/u, felt off there. HR was pretty high during the race also. Anyway tried to stick to top 2 but once they started separating, i didn't try hard enough to stick, then i pretty much tanked.

whatever. all good.



^^ HR just so high, really felt it pounding (high hr) during warmups, felt way off. bleh.

1904 marathon news:

Did you know

It was quickly discovered that USA's Fred Lorz, who crossed the line first at the 1904 Olympics, had cheated by flagging down a car and riding 11 miles as a passenger. He was disqualified and the victory was awarded to his compatriot Thomas Hicks, who (narrowly) survived the rigours of a race run in temperatures reaching 32 degrees Celsius thanks to a combination of brandy and strychnine.



wtf. lmao.

crazy numbers for half & full marathon.

I noticed his half marathon PB is a Miami half marathon.. that is probably SO rare, for a race in SFL to be your PB in the IAAF results!

1:03:15 in Miami / 2013:

fast dude! think he owns the CR for the miami half. It's not nearly as fast anymore, I guess it used to have prize money. Some locals hit 1:10 & 1:11's etc. Most winners hit 1:15-1:18 lately.

not necessarily to learn from.. just various runners & race results etc.

Notes:
No caffeine today. Shud be interesting! Wasn't got a pretty good headache in the evening and it stayed until i fell asleep. Ate a package of cookies and some chocolate. Not proud of it but long story short, that girl i mentioned earlier, i managed to keep her interest for another week but yesterday night she texted to say take care. Have not dealt well with it, she was probably the one but i wasn't present and blew the chance.

damn that sucks.

dno about "the one" tho.

thanks bro. i think she was more 'the one' than any other girl before her, if that makes sense. She's 32 so she had no time to play games i guess and i was thinking of taking it slow but she's not willing to waste time on someone she might feel is not that serious. Grieving today.. watched my goto michael scott dealing with heartbreak in the Office which always cheers me up with how OTT he is about it all. And i shouldn't take life so seriously. But then the cold realisation sets in that i waited aimlessly for about 2 years since the last girl i was actually interested in marrying and it might be a long time til the next one comes.

ah damn.

I just can't bring myself to invest emotionally in these things anymore .. i feel i self sabotage cos i have a protection mechanism that prevents me from falling and getting hurt etc

know the feeling!

regardless, nothing wrong with any of that as long as you "learn from it". maybe at least think about what you would do/not do next time a similar situation comes around, just prepare a bit more for future scenarios (if they mean something to you, which it seems like they do).

pc!

there's a nature center not to far away (i've never been there wtf), apparently they need food donations, lost funding or something. anyway they included some photos of some animals/birds/etc, these are cool:
