upon waking

- GMB standing warm up
- kit laughlin neck and face stretching
- meditate x 10 mins

afternoon

- run 42:00, 8.35 km
T+DI 129, creeping back up toward summer values. not so bad yet that i'm drenched in sweat right after a shower.

- stretch

went to new doc today. aside from being incredibly slow, it was fine. he had a couple suggestions about my headaches. the first was that they could be related to my elevated blood pressure. he told me that in the last 15 years or so the recommended ceiling for health bp has gone down steadily, to the point where i'm over it now. so i need to reconsider getting a stent put in (the issue is in one of my kidneys) or going on medication. strong preference for the former, i think.

the other thing was just to say that the headaches are probably muscular and so i need to be doing more stretching and movement throughout the day. that's not new but it gave me a little kick in the pants. i think i'll start doing some meditating as well. it's been 20 years since i meditated regularly but never too late to start again.

- run 47:52, 10.1 km
eh. humid. once i get back in a rhythm i need to excise these 4:40-4:50 runs. they're easy but not quite slow enough to be really relaxing, and too slow to be quality work.
