it's slushy/icy outside after the snow we got the other day so i have not been running. perhaps i am simply a wimp.

- warm up run x 1 mile (dreadmill)

- GMB mobility

- SVJ +40 x 5

- superset x 2
-- DB OHP 20s x 5
-- neutral chin x 10,5 (lololol weeeeak)

- superset x 2
-- BSS +40 x 10
-- DB RDL 20s x 10

- low pulley row +18.1 x 10/side

- hollow body hold 30s x 2
second one quite hard

fml i am weak. well, got to start somewhere.

ETA: also, weighed myself today for the first time in many moons. 169, which is about 4 pounds more than the last time i did this. given how inconsistent i've been over the last few months, that is most likely all fat. i'm still quite lean (abs visible if blurry, as has been the case since i can remember), but it's notable. i don't think i've ever passively put on weight before, as an adult. welcome to the back half of your 30s, luke.

i am now fantasizing about moving to like jasper or val thorens or some shit next winter. like, i know why i like being in DC -- community building, involvement in politics, have lots of friends here, etc. -- but man if i wasn't single...tempting. i have been thinking a lot again about my ex. i shut things down with her in the fall, after she made her pitch to get back together. but can't get her out of my head. and she's the kind of person who'd be down to go post up in a crappy one-bedroom apartment next to a mountain for like three months. then go somewhere else. seems like it'd be fun for a while.

Some random things tryna get some upper back work without any equipment lol

you could get a band and do pull-aparts. that barely counts as equipment. otherwise, inverted rows under a table or desk?

went skiing for a couple of days in vermont this past week, first time doing that in 5-6 years and it was a blast. calves quite sore, don't usually use 'em like that.

- run 34:25, 6.59 km
hilliest route but this still felt like more of a struggle than it should. pretty out of shape after what feels like the longest layoff of my adult life. but good to end the year with a run, however short.

happy new year, y'all!

day 5 of this headache. it shifted from the left side to the right either overnight or early this morning, i can't tell. pretty much bagged work again today. dragged myself into a run in the afternoon and it was a good call, as usual: headache still there but much diminished.

- run 54:03, 10.77 km

ended up feeling sick yesterday, had to work the full day anyway (downside of the remote work adjustment). forced myself to stay awake until like 9:45 just to make sure i didn't give myself pseudo jet lag. woke up at like 4:30 with a headache, took some ibuprofen, fell back asleep, woke up at 6:20 feeling like a million bucks.  :highfive:

- run 41 mins, 8 km
forgot to restart watch for a few minutes at one point so this is an estimate. close enough. improvised a new route that ended up around the tidal basin, which is so pretty. especially in the early morning. great light.

it's below freezing this morning. woke up as scheduled but decided that's too cold for me to run in (yet). went to the building's gym and there was already a guy on the one dreadmill. shit. think i'm going to have to come up with an alternate plan for the winter.

Well its been a funny old week, without going into too many details basically had a bit of a mental breakdown that ultimately resulted in reaching out to my family and close friends for the help I've probably needed for a long time. unfortunately running and meditating for hours a day didn't quite cut it here!!


yo, belatedly saying big ups for reaching out for help. there's no hug emoji on here but i'm offering a transatlantic hug anyway. hope your people are taking care of you.

you not worried about reinforcing the R/L imbalance?
