Valencia recap. Found a new running journal/site. Beautiful photos too. I follow that photographer on IG (@notafraid2fail), he's LEGIT.

- run 7.62 km, strides 6 x 20s w/60s walking rest
first 4 km with gf, faster than the last couple times out and negative splits [5:21, 5:19, 5:17, 5:11]. proud of her, she complained a bit early on that her legs were dead but she stuck it out. picked it up a little for the last 3.6 [4:59, 4:57, 5:00] before starting the strides.

- stretch

total distance 8.91 km, total time 47:04.

focused on relaxing and keeping my hips/COG forward of my feet and relaxing into each stride. calves a little sore but didn't bother me once i started running. no cramps now. yay.

total distance for the last seven days is 44.6, which is a PR.

great stuff man!!

also props to the gf. she's getting faster along with you too, pretty cool. she's going to do some races eventually I imagine.

look at the kid on the right just tagging along.. ;d dope.

LMFAO'd so hard....................

Staples looks exactly like Floyd in that clip. dying.

i think odell beckham is my answer to the question, "if you could have one person's physical gifts, who would it be?"

ya I could agree with that. his on field performance is mind blowing, he can dunk, he's just athletic af.

run day!!! yezzzz!!!!!

run went good .. left ankle bugged out a little bit when going slow. right knee bugged out for the first ~1 minute then disappeared. bugged out a bit later on in the day. right bottom footpad of bigtoe felt good/never bugged out. feels a little worked but no pain.

did lots of stretching today which I probably shouldn't have .. also dug into my it-band VERY HARD manually (with hands/fingers). loosened it up a bit (temporarily at least).

left ankle is so odd .. seems i'm overpronating now when I go slow. When I go fast, it disappears. I think clipping it so much with my right foot really jacked it up lmfao. Consciously changed my form to make sure I hit the outside edge of my left foot in the second hour, and it felt alot better. I think somehow I altered a motor pattern by contacting it so hard & cutting it up. Very weird stuff. (I still have a ton of bruising on my left ankle from clipping it the last 3 weeks, and clipping it hard (bloody) in that half marathon).

Anyway, happy with the session. Only reason I stopped running is that I have to go get some work done EEH!!

ALSO: won't be running back2back days until i'm 100% .. so no running tmw! basketball dribbling tho ... which is some solid cardio/strength work.
