found out yesterday that i am 95% likely to get furloughed (i.e., placed on leave without pay) on february 14. there's a 3% chance that i keep my full-time post and a 2% chance that my position is terminated altogether. deep breaths.

ribs continue to improve: they are now just sore, no acute pain. really, really glad that they're healing in time for my ski trip, which starts this weekend! i'm not going to run before then, just in the interest of not pushing my luck with recovery. will do some walking today, probably outside as i'm taking a sick day and so will have time during the day for it.

yesterday

- dreadmill hill walk x 40 mins
found a way to make the hills steeper, which was good

- stairmaster x 10 mins

ribs a bit better yesterday and today, less acute pain and more soreness/stiffness. there's also knock-on soreness in my left mid back, but that also seems less severe this morning.

- run 1:05:07, 10.28 km
ribs felt okay throughout the day, even as i was up and about, taking down our christmas tree and carrying it out. definitely sore but nothing too bad. i thought running would be fine. immediately they started hurting. i thought i'd maybe warm up out of the worst discomfort. nope. there's two big steep descents on the route i ran today and they sucked. so much groaning.

i'll take a walk tomorrow just to get some movement in, but a run would be foolish. damn it.

the sky is falling in my industry, thanks to trump. hope it's a temporary fall and things are stable by april. but right now things are looking bleak. our CEO just sent an email out to everyone saying, in part, "our first priorities are funding the salaries and benefits of our staff worldwide." so i'm not staring down the barrel of an imminent furlough or reduction in LOE, which is a little bit comforting. but that is NOT a sentence you want to have to read.

obviously, a lot of his EOs and other actions in office are worse: more violent, or targeted are more vulnerable people, or with more dire long-term consequences for the world. but the one about foreign aid, and subsequent decisions from the state department, is the most personal to me and my wife. we're all in for a really, really bad four years, and that's if we get lucky and he and his henchmen and hangers-on fail to fully shred the constitution.

didn't note it last night but doing so now because it still hurts: towards the end of the run last night, i clipped my toe on some piled up icy snow and stumbled a bit. managed not to fall altogether, but must have bent awkwardly as i caught myself because my ribs hurt immediately. the strained patch is on the left side, about halfway between my armpit and the bottom of my rib cage. it's nothing serious, just unusual.

- run 52:25, 9.09 km
hands so cold, although it's not as cold as it's been. prob just below freezing. feels like gloves have gotten less effective? or maybe it's that i didn't overdress torso and arms?

- dreadmill intervals
-- warm up
-- 5 x (3 min @ 6:22, 2 min @ 10:54)
-- cool down
more intervals next time.

considering doing a 10k on saturday morning to get a baseline for my threshold heart rate. also racing practice is generally good.

air temp 8/-13 this morning, "feels like" temp 1/-17. the running group sent out a rare cancellation last night. i woke up early anyway, maybe because my body was expecting to go work out? or maybe some other reason, idk. lay in bed, trying not to think about fucking trump.
