- run 1:09, 13.31 km
windy and cold, ran with lady friend again and she was feeling good so pace was quicker with her. picked it up a bit as well after she stopped at her place, ~4:30 for the final 1.3km.

- stretch

i am getting sick (tested negative for covid this morning but feeling coldy), this might have been a bad idea.

last week was long. my cocky ass decided that the best way to start the new week would be to accompany my gf (we have moved past "woman-i've-been-dating") on a 15-mile run, her longest before she starts to taper for her half marathon in a couple weeks.

- run 19.31 km in 1:52:45, walk 5.5 km
felt great for the first 15 km. last 4+ were hitting-the-wall shit like i have not felt in two years. did not have enough calories in me, have not done enough long runs to believe -- which i know now -- that you should take some gel or a fruit roll-up or something. gf was also struggling (not from lack of fitness, unlike yours truly) so we called it at 12 miles and walked the rest of the way.

got a milkshake to deal with my crashing blood sugar, drank too much too fast, and puked much of it up an hour later. all in all, a humbling experience.

Oh dude maybe your muscles ran out of glycogen, that was happening to me (im pretty sure) on lots of my runs when i started keto. Now I basically have to take some simple sugars before every workout that reaches into anaerobic without long rests and also on slower runs more than maybe 90 mins. Its such a shit feeling i remember that happened to me during a frisbee pickup game and it was so embarassing I just started getting wrecked by high schoolers and stuff

Glad youve got a running companion willing to run 12 miles with you though

Oh and it could also be dehydration or electrolytes. Been getting hit with that every now and again as well

probably a combination of both. lesson learned, though.

last thursday

- run 50:59, 9.70 km

- stretch

this morning

- treadmill run ~21 mins, 4 km
jet-lagged and also i'm in kathmandu, around 1400m/4600' elevation. this was not enjoyable. will try to run every day this week and then maybe go for a hike somewhere outside the city this weekend. here until the middle of next week and then flying to CA to visit my cousin and go to a wedding.

- stretch/mobilizations

need to start signing up for some races. starting to feel motivation coming back, although i've had little mini false starts here and the over the past year-plus. but man i don't know, i'm getting itchy. need a goal. need to get that discipline back. sub-19 can fall if i want it to. sub-12 two-miler. 5:00 mile. do an ultra.

right now, though, i need to go to bed.

no! missed it. a couple of my colleagues had yogurt with their lunches but i didn't try it. next time.

just signed up for a 5k on june 26. goal will be <21 as i am not in very good shape. but gf just finished her first half (top 10% overall, men and women!) and is jazzed about racing so she talked me into signing up. can treat it as a gnarly tempo run. i won't get a workout in today, as i'm leaving and don't want to get on the plane with sweat-soaked clothes stinking up my bag. but will keep up the intervals and tempo over the next few weeks (and slow runs, of course) in hopes of being in some semblance of shape for the race.

did no exercise while in california. back on the horse tonight and it is SUMMER. it wasn't even that hot out but the humidity was way up there and i struggled.

- run 40:13, 7.22 km
5:34 pace! well, i guess it's time to re-adapt to T+DI running. on that note: T+DI 146 because the dew point is SEVENTY-TWO. jesus.
