Morning BW: 70.7 [nice, expected this to be a lot higher]

Workout

Run 9.78mi in 1:29.46 [8:33, 9:23, 9:20, 9:49, 9:14, 9:34, 9:12, 9:22, 9:00, then 8:06 pace for the last .78 miles]

Notes

Some extra stuff came up I had to handle on the week so didn't end up having that Sunday evening slot I'd hoped to use for a long run.

This run was great, didn't want to ever stop running, pretty much. Kept pace very easy, not pushing at all until the last mile, just rolling along.

Going to aim for 30 miles this week, I think. Good start for that goal.

great stuff man!

long runs are fun af.

50 min @ HR of 135 - 6.98km @ 7.10m/km

Interesting run. Not that the time was great but I felt great running. Really enjoyed it and felt like I could have kept running forever. Also worth noting is that my pace at that HR is improving. Was 7.33 the week before and 7.19 a few days before that run. All in similar conditions. Cannot wait to get into the 6's and bring it down further. Looks like this whole "cardio" thing is working out.

good stuff!!

Spent 40-50 mins with the lacross ball followed by some long lunge work for the hip flexors.

Morning surf. First time in the water in at least 2 years. Was sloppy, onshore 2-3ft but clean enough to get a ton of waves and have a great time. Also managed to paddle a little under 3k which is cool to know. It's still one of those activities that really has no peer in terms of feeling when you get it right. Scary as fuck into pure bliss.

that was sick to see that surfing data.

the closest thing i've ever done to surfing, is skim boarding.. hah. too wimpy for the ocean.

pretty cool that you could catch a bunch of waves after ~2 years off.

left foot bugging me, an old spot I hurt on a rock way back .. didn't feel it during the walk but, might have landed on a hard one. Actually, I felt this when I was running (very slow) on the levee on Saturday, hit a few rocks right in that area and boom felt it.. probably aggravated it a bit then.

lame.

pretty happy with that 11:43 .. Haven't gone sub12 since my 11:39 -> hips feeling strong, lunges might be helping already.

on a sidewalk this would most likely have been an all-time PR, so many little "speed bumps" in the area I walked.

wasn't sweating too much on the 13:XX paces, but then when I pushed it hard on the last mile, sweat just pouring out .. lmao. Very fast walking is so intense.








feet stinging:

eh. feet stinging all day after that walk. probably crushed a bunch of rocks hard but was numb to it HEH.. annoying.

why don't I have caveman feet by now? fml.

will probably be fine by tomorrow.. still, annoying and always "worrisome".

deserves its own post:

after running today, shortly after getting home, had a weird pain in my right calf .. very tender to a slight touch .. Think a blood vessel got wrecked or something.

can barely feel it now but it was pretty intense after my run earlier.

right hamstring/calf feel a bit sore in general but, this was very different. interesting. hope it's nothing & doesn't reappear... barely any hard running this week should help though.

I think you're right about there being no good reason to support the meat industry. It's just what people do because it doesn't require going against the grain and taking on the personal burden of such a big issue.

It's definitely something I will consider more seriously when I'm older, living on my own and have sorted out other things in my life.

I like the idea of hunting. Giving an animal (what can be called) a natural life cycle death and hunting ethically where animals are in overpopulation, possibly damaging to the environment makes sense to me. Many animals hunt and I'm sure some previous generations of humans were really reliant on that too.

I could never hunt, but that's a great point.

Once in my life, I shot an animal (bird) with a pellet gun (when I was like 12?) .. Maybe I just wanted to see how it felt. I cried myself and still look back on it with shame. I never did anything like that ever again. Not an ounce of joy/fun from that moment. If I had to kill animals for food, I wouldn't. I can deal with unfertalized hen/chicken eggs and such, no problem. But killing an animal, impossible for me, except in self defense. But that's a completely different scenario.

Quote
What do you all think about the argument that the individual cannot make any real change with such a big issue? This is the argument I would make normally against going vegan, but lately I feel a need to be responsible for things I care about even if it doesn't make a huge difference.

I also don't want to be overwhelmed with the amount of things I do that support activities I don't agree with. Shopping at walmart, eating mcdonalds, not picking up trash etc. This girl I know literally takes it upon herself to pick up trash in the city on the way home from work. I can't dedicate my whole life to avoiding contributing to big problems..

that girl is a boss. :highfive: :highfive: :highfive:

my Mom used to do stuff like that. She also taught me early not to litter and such, just simple things. Then, when you're with coworkers or friends and they litter, it's like a "bombshell", or at least that's how it feels to me. I mean I try to be nice about it, like no dude i'll throw that out etc.. but it's interesting what kind of feelings it creates, almost like a little "stab". That's probably how people feel when they grow up with parents who teach them how to eat "more ethically" (or vegan) etc. ie, it's hard to acquire that kind of "visceral reaction" to something late in life, i've found. When it's engrained in you since a young age, it's a completely different experience.

And where would I draw the line? I don't think killing rats is morally wrong. I'm not sure how I feel about killing a rabbit.

As far as I can see it there is literally no ethical argument for eating meat... unless you truly believe animals are not sentinent...I think future humans will look back on what we've done to animals the last few 100 (1000?) years in disgust, they won't be able to even fathom how we could be so cruel and selfish.

I think that there's no good ethical reason for eating meat even if you don't care about animal welfare. Meat production is terrible for the environment and going veggie is one of the easiest ways to make a positive environmental impact.

yup! good points.
