today is the fifth anniversary of my brother's death, by suicide. he was homeless off and on for a few years, so my parents are going to join the encampment outreach i've been doing every friday for the past 1.5 years or so, as part of commemorating him. i miss him, a feeling that's gotten more acute in recent months. i'm not sure why. but i'm feeling it today.

- tempo
-- warm up x 2 km
-- 4 km @ 4:25 [4:26, 4:25, 4:22, 4:26]
-- cool down x 1.3 km
meant to do 5k but still sluggish, was breathing hard at the end of 4k (hit it right at the top of a hill) and worried about tipping over the lactate threshold. so i stopped. will repeat this pace next week.

well, so much for getting busy. woke up this morning with the worst hangover in recent memory. was feeling okay enough by late afternoon to drag myself out the door but didn't achieve much, except the in the sense that something>>>nothing.

my fiancee (half-argentine: her dad is from argentina and most of that side of the family are there) and i watched the game at home, both hung over (her very much so). our TV is in the basement, where the ceiling is pretty low. after messi's first goal, she jumped up on the couch, hit her head on the ceiling and her elbow on a support column, threw up a little bit, and started crying. there were still more than two hours left to watch. what a game, what a tournament!

did not run the rest of the week, work and life blew up. but i did get up and run the 5k that i'd signed up for this morning.
- 5k race, 20:46 (watch), 20:44 (chip)
pretty happy with that, goal was to run under 21 and i did. chip time pending but it'll also be under, i saw the clock ticking as i crossed the finish line. even better, my final km was the fastest (4:06), so i managed not to go out too hard. good stuff.
EDIT: added chip time. kind of unusual for it to be shorter than the watch time but i guess the course measurement was really accurate.

- tempo
-- warm up x 2 km
-- 5 km @ 4:31 [4:33, 4:30, 4:30, 4:31, 4:30]
-- cool down
hell yeah. this is 1:35 half marathon pace. i couldn't do that for 21.1 km, at least on a route with climbs like this one has. but if i stay healthy and consistent, i'll definitely be able to by march.
EDIT: i just looked at the results from last year's rock and roll half marathon. noticed that a friend finished in 1:24, just outside the top 100 overall, 19th in our age group (out of about 7,500). that's pretty impressive. 1:35 would put me around 350th overall, or around 65th in the age group. 1:30 would put me closer to 40th in the age group and top-200 overall.
even 1:35 is 95th percentile, that's cool.
