just feeling around in my calves lightly .. I already knew this but, left medial gastroc is basically a problem, it's way tighter than my right medial gastroc.

But, digging into it lightly, it's crazy painful compared to my right .. my calves in general feel fine, except for my left medial gastroc. painful as fu*k.

gn!

Some trees from the last race:

interesting video.. kid goes from decent vert (second half of vid) to getting up like sh*t ..
 the difference a day makes. could have blown himself out hard jumping max like that.

also lobs vs dribble up.

even in his good jumps, he looks "heavy".

yo! how's it going? :/

not great! worked out like two or three times since last post, a bit of running, nothing really last few weeks though. feel crappy. travelling w/ gf for a couple of weeks soon, though, so will hopefully restore rhythm there. adjusting to full time has been rough. i've got a bit pudgy again. probably not gonna log until back from trip. missed this place but felt unable to get back in the gym and, as such, embarrassed to pop back here :/

didn't see this until now.

Happy new year

Morning BW: 73.2kg

Workout

Run -- 6.1km in 31:02

Fairly easy run in fairly heavy rain. This run included a 24:59 5k, so I guess that's the benchmark for the year.

Legs quite sore today, actually, though not due to any deliberate training. Got back from travels on the 30th, and on the 31st I took the train to visit friends for NYE. I was a bit late so I had to pull out a basically 100% effort 300m sprint to catch my train. Glutes were cramping when I boarded, lol, so I spent first 10 mins of the journey pacing the carriage to alleviate this.

Notes

Present goals -- get back into a workout rhythm and enjoy stuff. Maybe resume weight loss aiming at sub-70kg. Hopefully body comp will improve quite a lot as muscle will come back quickly w/ lifting, I guess?

wb! stick to it. that work/life/training balance can be rough. you know you don't want to "feel crappy" tho so, must solve this puzzle somewhat.

lmao @ 300m ME sprint to catch the train .. rough. should have had your garmin recording

wb wb wb!

complete rest.

the french toast from sunday ... can't explain to you how good this is.

south florida is very flat, but I luckily have some hills near me (2 miles away), which you don't find too often. They vary in height and grade, I think the highest is 50 ft, at max ~30% grade? dno .. there's runnable and power-walkable hills.

I also have a park ~25 minutes from me which has even better hills.

This might improve my strength considerably.. we'll see.

646 feet elevation gain? cool!!!
