words cannot describe how satisfying it is to hit 11.00 km exactly on the final step of the run. i didn't have to go a few houses up the block or run around in circles for a few seconds to get it to turn over this time. without looking, the watch buzzed the very instant my foot hit the driveway. i crossed the street once at a slightly different point this time, maybe that's what added the extra 30m.

it's hot and humid again, wtf.

felt like autumn this morning here, too. 17 degrees, breezy, no humidity. but it's supposed to be back up in the 30s early next week. almost there...

freelanced a new route today and once again it was exactly 11 km. about half as much climbing as the other day, consequently about 12s/km faster and lower HR.

morning

- push up x 20

- pull up x 7,6,7

gonna see if i can make myself stick to this for a while. every other day, do a set of push ups and then pull ups to match the reps. try to add a bit each time but not be mad if i can't.

gorgeous evening post-ida. lots of climbing on the route today because i figured it'd be better to go up than down after all the rain.

emotional roller coaster of a week. my ex wrote to me completely out of the blue to see if i have any interest in starting a conversation that might lead to us getting back together. my brother came across the body of a young man who'd hung himself on the playground next to my brother's house. my friend sent a shit-ton of pictures from the kabul airport, where he spent the last week helping evacuate 1,000 people and leaving many more behind. i spent some time trying to help former colleagues find a us government employee to sponsor their P2 visas, and failing.

going to NYC this weekend to meet some friends who are visiting from pakistan. will bring my running stuff, it'd be nice to run in central park and the weather looks cool.
