just to stretch the legs, pleased with myself for making it out the door at all. work is a bit nuts this week because i'm going on vacation next week. plus i'm re-starting guitar lessons tonight.

my leg *still* has a rash on it.

thursday

- run ~5 km
gf whacked the everloving shit out of her elbow partway through. ended up taking her to urgent care. x-rays negative but they said there might be a hairline fracture they missed. not our week! sheesh.

spent the weekend on martha's vineyard at my cousin's wedding (and, mostly, driving to and from there. it's a long haul).

stung by a bee a bit less than 1 km from home. i am allergic, although i didn't know quite how badly i'd react since it'd been a long time. ended up needing to jab myself with an epipen and then spend four hours in the ER. anaphylaxis is not a pleasant experience, all around. would not recommend.

Still keeping it slow and simple...... Body feels good, and I am slightly motivated so that's a win!

very satisfying to improvise a route that is that close to a perfectly round distance. achilles was a bit stiff in the morning but felt 100% by lunchtime and throughout this run.

have covered 32.8 km in six runs over the past seven days, per watch. registered for a 5k on 12 november, so i have something to work toward. that's 10 weeks out. plan will be:

1. add mileage conservatively both per-run and weekly, running frequently but not long. i think the long run with gf the other weekend was what irritated my achilles. goal weekly mileage is 55 km.
2. continue goofing off a little with the new weights just to re-accustom myself to using them and add some cross-training.
3. in a couple of weeks, if my achilles is still okay, start doing one day a week of speed, tempo, or hills. if i can make myself get up early enough on wednesdays to run with the group that trains at the high school in my neighborhood, i'll do that.

bit quicker, achilles felt great.

- bench 115 x 5,5

- BB row 115 x 5
whooooa buddy my lats felt that one. did not do a second set.

- deep squat hold 45 x ?
shoulder very tight, also i have nothing weighing down the supports so i decided to just let getting under the bar be enough.

- curls 25s x 5/arm
plates, not DBs

- hollow body hold x 30s

just keeping it loose and improvising for now.

yesterday

- run 24:59, 4.3 km
very slow, very short, trying to take it easy on achilles. felt good.

also, have started biking around using DC's bike sharing infrastructure. i hadn't really ridden a bike apart from beach cruisers in 20 years, so i'm not a very confident rider, but it's coming and it's been fun so far. and good exercise, a new way to use my legs. rode about 7-8 miles yesterday, including one climb that was pretty gnarly on the super heavy shared bike.

i just picked up a used bench today that has one of those attachments on the end, had not occurred to me to do calf raises with it. will have to give that a try.

tried to run a couple mornings ago but achilles said hello from the jump so i stopped after a half-block. resting and mobility the last few days (foam roller, active stretching, eccentrics) but no running. will try again this afternoon and keep it short even if i feel 100%.

also gf said she's supportive of getting a squat rack and weights for the garage so gonna start looking into that.

how much do you care about the h/m? because if it's more than a date on the calendar then i'd say that's not enough running. maybe replace one of the cardio cross-training things with another easy run.

i'd also say, don't jump right back into 10k's. ease back into it.

and i'd also say, go get it.
