The Final Girls
I believe it came out in 2015 but I randomly found this gem
So the title final girls means the final girl in a typical slasher movie that kills the killer.
So some chicks mom was an actress and starred in a slasher F13th type of movie in the 70s. On the 3 year anniversary of the chicks moms death a movie theater plays that movie. A fire starts and girl and friends cut through the screen to escape through the back, in doing so they find themselves in the movie. Without getting too much into detail, they try to save everyone and they have to kill the killer to escape the movie.
Rated PG13 and it is listed as a comedy.
I thought it was funny, clever, goofy and nice visuals.
It is worth a watch one night
I suck at reviewing stuff.
nice @ the killer gets killed.
i saw something nutty like that with some deaf/mute woman (author, out in the woods by herself in a small sparse community) when I was at my aunt's... movie was pretty crazy.

my optical HR on my garmin has been so jacked up the last 2 days.
yesterday, my RHR was 120+ on my watch, but 40's manually. So I put my friend's apple watch (?) on my right wrist, and we looked at both:
- garmin 735xt: 120+ BPM
- friend's watch: ~45 BPM
teh fu*k?

Those darn chinups did a number on my abs (100% foreseeable). Bit of a shit squat session as a result. Still, okay all things considering. My lower back not happy from squatting with subopt form with fatigued abs tho.
Heart notes:
I've been in AFL since sunday night btw, it's currently tuesday night, so im in AFL for 48hrs and counting. Feel disillusioned with medical field, im going to vent about that if i can be bothered tomorrow.
any update? hope you are doing ok .. i mean I see your latest workout so I assume you're doing ok.

Please do. I'm very confused about the heart situation - I've seen you upload basketball vids to IG, and I thought you weren't supposed to be doing that. Tbh, with the prospect of a cardial ablation on the horizon, I thought you'd be taking it easy, not training as normal?
basically, x2.

Workout
Run -- 8.40mi in 1:13:23
5.25 easy, 2@HM (7:34, 7:33 [7:19, 7:25 GAP]), rest easy/cooldown
Notes
Runs have been a little crummy recently. Hadn't slept well most of this week until last night, so I'll just chalk it up to that.
that'll do it for sure.

I quite like structuring tempo-ish work this way. There's no resting in this workout, it's just run easy for a while, then try to hit that race pace for ~15 mins. Then back to easy running. Feels like a good way to simulate hitting those paces on tired legs (even easy running 5mi is going to tire my legs out a bit).
definitely, i've come to love that as well. feels great to throw in tempo in the middle or at the end, then just finish with more light relaxed miles.
i didn't really enjoy tempo until this year.. just hated it before. i've come to really enjoy it now. Love just working on various paces @ a continued effort. Also, love progression runs even more. Progressions are probably my favorite tool now. Again, great to hit X pace, then X-10s, X-20s, X-30s, X-40s, etc.. just feels really interesting .. reminds me of progressing into max effort jumps, very gradually.. lmao! I used to love doing that. trying to hit dunks/jumps in gear 1, gear 2, ..., gear max.

Ankle feeling decent.
nice!

also to what Joe said, I doubt fitness is back sliding, though performance may be .. but that would simply be related to fatigue & adapting to more frequent runs & overall higher intensity etc. that "accumulated fatigue" effect works for running too -> you can run yourself into the ground a bit then rebound out hard by cutting intensity/volume and/or resting more etc.. so in that case, fitness is improving in the face of that decreased performance, just takes some tapering/sharpening/deloading sometimes to express it.
I wouldn't worry about it too much, adapting can be taxing.
and to what you said at the end: I love hardly looking at my watch when i'm running easy. Looking at the watch will almost always make you run faster.. for easy runs, it's great to just look at the duration and/or mileage and just relax. "harder" easy runs may need the watch, but true easy runs, can just go coast and relax.
and ya, hard on hard days! can only do that ~2-3x/wk, leaning more towards 2x .. even 1x is necessary occasionally when you just get run down.
finally, every day is different. I can run great on tuesday of this week, and crap on tuesday of next week. ride teh fluctuation waves!
pc!!

after my light run today, i'm absolutely wrecked. just cold af. it was cold outside (for me, sub50 F initially, 50's as it went along), so I must have lost alot of "heat". anyway several hours later, I just passed out for 3 hours. completely toast. when i woke up, so cold. got a hoodie on, socks, etc. lmfoa.
the good news is: right knee (ITBS) didn't hurt during that 2 hour light run .. so that's awesome. feels great afterwards. one more light run tmw, rest sat (or very short light run), and then hopefully it's good enough for me to drop the hammer on sunday's 5k on grass. Want to really push it.

felt great.
so cold i ran most of it with my hands inside my hoodie pockets.. ;d never even done that before. lmao.
i love running. ;d
tmw = another 2+ hour light run hopefully.. just relaxed, enjoying it. legs feel pretty strong.. quads have healed up since my 10k, feel like they have power again.
if i feel healthy on sunday, will try and really push it hard for that 5k.
runlikeagirl update:
- her stomach is feeling better .. i talked to her about her diet & gave her some suggestions, she took some of that input and cleaned it up a bit, added in more oatmeal/fruit, actually eating less protein .. says she feels great. could just be diet related. Also, I told her that her stomach may be sensitive like mine after races.. when I really push myself, I seem to really cause some stress to my stomach, so eating carelessly after an intense race isn't a good idea. She went to a doc, as usual, doc was useless. hehe.
she's got a big 5k coming up in like 2 weeks. going to help her prepare for that hopefully, while she helps me finish off preparing for this half marathon .. im kind 'done' preparing for the half though, especially with the knee tweak.
last hard workout will be next thursday but, just a few sub6 miles and lots of very light miles.. then the half is on Sunday.. going for that 2 days rest.
want to win this thing but, ... who knows................. could end up bad. or great. we'll find out. LMFAO.
