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.

^^ oklahoma/rhode island was such a solid game.

watching MIA/Loyola Chicago now.. close game.

yaaaa!!!!!!!!!

photo of the month so far, imho.. could Kawarai get #1 twice in a row?

Workout

Run -- ~6mi in 53:12

Notes

Really bothers me how my watch gets all messed up on the run to the park on this route, even though it's then totally fine on the return. Otherwise a chill slow run. All feels good and in place. 8mi tmrw?

apparently they have GPS spoofing weapons.. one day our runs will fall victim.

and ya that sucks, so weird.

8 mi tmw, nice!!

been meaning to post this, very nice marathon pace/split chart:

ya but also, that's why watching these NFL guys is great.. you get body types all over the place. The WR's/TE's have really long femurs, and can fly. The RB's/DB's/CB's have more of sprinter leverages. Look at how some of those WR's (wide receivers) are starting.

pc!!

Just watched the wr combines 2018 and although some of them skip straight to the set position, some i see they have the back leg a little more closer to the front leg and that brings their hips higher and like them also jumping out of the blocks and then transitioning into speed, you can notice the difficulty people with long femurs in making it smooth transition, which I have experienced too, but nothing that practice can't fix.

thanks

yup ^^

exactly. 

Seems like you're doing alot more work in march thus far... nice!
