yesterday

- catch with FP x ~90 mins
also played HORSE and shot around for a bit. he can still dunk easily. my hops have regressed completely, couldn't even touch rim. that may have had a little to do with my toe situation but regardless, ouch.

today

- run 42:13, 7.83 km
short and slow. toe still felt a little weird but was able to run without limping so ok. right pec and arm, and also glute, a bit sore from all the throwing yesterday.

- stretch

it was gnarly. hurts this morning, taking the dressing off and soaking in warm salty water was not enjoyable. i can stand on it now but rolling through that toe isn't happening yet.

- run 48:54, 9.41 km
finally managed to get myself up to run before work again and didn't have any early calls to compete. did the middle ~3 km on a park trail almost completely out of sight of any road. god i love DC. much more climbing than i'm used to: typical runs around my parents' were 55 feet/mile. this route was over 90 feet/mile. but very much uphill-downhill so coming home was easier.

- stretch

last night

- run 42:28, 8.85 km
first run starting at my new place. there's a steep downhill scramble onto the rock creek park path literally across the street from the building. sick. ran along potomac, around behind lincoln memorial, around washington monument, past white house/BLM plaza, and back. not bad for winging it. will try running up the river in the other direction next time.

- stretch
god that felt good. so stiff.

comcast guy came this morning so i finally have internet. thought i'd be able to set it up on my own but nah, landlady literally had never used the internet in here so the guy had to connect to the exterior cable.

13 on in a raw and 17 of the last 18!!!

spent the day cleaning out my new place and picking up some stuff for it. gotta pack some more tonight and then tomorrow load the truck. moving in for real monday afternoon!

upon waking

- GMB standing warm up
- meditate x 10 mins
very restless mind this morning

evening

- run 48:10, 9.70 km
had to take a shit for the last ~15 minutes, then explosive diarrhea and big fart the second i sat on the toilet. not sure where that came from, otherwise i feel fine. fun!

- stretch

i feel like i've been treading water with running this winter and it's lapsed into a kind of sad dog paddle.

started to get a tension headache today, did a bunch of massage and mobilization, it continued to get worse, took ibuprofen and lay down for 20-30 mins, then started to practice guitar. it is receding. deep breaths.

of all that the guitar seems most helpful. trying to learn the intro to this song (en route to learning the whole thing, obviously, but the intro uses a technique, finger rolling, i hadn't learned before, so it's taking a while.)

that's a duet, i found an arrangement for solo guitar that combines the parts.
