good job on the 50mile run.   

any plans in the future to run in hawaii? my younger sister does ultramarathons and hawaii is a very good destination spot for the ultra running community.

- climb x 40 mins
just working my way through all of the three easiest grades in the big room at the gym. extremely out of climbing shape, no surprise.

- dips x 10,10

- treadmill workout
-- warm up x 10 mins
-- 7 x [3 min @ 9.1mph, 1 min @ 5mph]
RPE 6. workout is from marathon excellence: 7 x 3 @90-92% 5k pace.

- dreadmill "hills" x 40 mins @ easy pace
RPE 3

- pull ups x 5+5+5+4 w/ 1 min rest
fuck me i'm weak. but at least no neck pain.

- windshield wiper x 4
fuck me i'm weak.

- run 38:57, 7.12 km
very easy, RPE 2. slow pace enforced by conditions: the dreaded wintry mix. i spent like a half hour inventing excuses for why i shouldn't get out the stupid door (it'll be icy, what if i fall, it's gonna be so unpleasant getting sleeted on, i can always run later after it stop snowing). eventually got over it and glad i did. never feels good to quit on myself, always feels good to follow through. incredible that i have to learn that lesson over and over. there were a couple of slippery spots where more snow/slush was sticking, but overall conditions were fine. i just, again took it slow. fat flakes now, looking out the window.

ETA: just signed up for the glass city marathon in toledo, ohio, on april 26. first marathon, and first marathon training block, here i come!
