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.

- run 2:09:03, 22.53 km
didn't mean to go quite this far but got turned around coming out of the trails i was running on in rock creek park. oops! 22.53 km is 13.999 miles, so i'm calling it an even 14. same pace as last sunday, approximately. conversational the whole way (although i was alone this time), HR averaged 129 bpm with a max at 146, i assume on some trail climb.

brought two nutri-grain bars and a packet of fig cookies to practice fueling, and also forcing myself to take walking breaks, both of which are suggested in all the ultra guidance i've read. lessons: i tolerate these well digestion-wise, no stomach issues at all. but they're dry, especially the nutri-grain bars, so they require a bit of chewing and they're kind of hard to swallow without water. no way to eat them without walking, because i have to slow my breathing to get them down. need to try with some gels. once it's warmer out i'll also be carrying water with me on long runs.

Ah yeah, I meant cold as in respiratory infection. Lingered for like 10 days, 5 of which left us very low energy.

I hear you re darkness. If anything, London winters are too warm. I have a really nice parka that I spent too much money on, and I get to wear it like once a year, smh.

oh, got it. anyway, yes it's too damn dark.

i hear you re: the parka. i bought a fairly hardcore belay parka last year, which is too warm to wear 99% of the time. but that 1%, it really helps. plus, i figure, it'll last me the rest of my life. and it'll come in handy when wife and i get back to the mountains. you just gotta go mountain climbing, lol.

* not overpowering the 495 enough to go for backoff sets. the other exercises have been adding more fatigue than usual but i'm ok with were i'm at. the hammer strength rows have been feeling very good. double arms with a good squeeze/hold at the max ROM. i feel good midback doms most of the time.

- dreadmill tempo
-- warm up
-- 4 x 5 min @ 6:40/mile, 2 min @ 10:54
-- cool down
lowered the working pace to sub-HM target pace (equates to 4:08/km pace) and slowed the rest pace accordingly. this was good, i didn't feel great going in but i ground it out and will keep lowering the pace on these workouts bit by bit. no more 14 second/mile jumps.

- warm up
jump rope, bit of dreadmill just to officially get over 50k for the week, mobility

- climb x ~45 mins
meh

- squat
started to warm up but felt wrong, bailed. need to be more consistent about lifting once per week, at least until i start really ramping up mileage.

- circuit x 2
-- dip x 8
-- tuck/semi-tuck planche hold x 10s
-- GHR x 3

i don't think i had enough to eat before this. energy was low, felt kinda weak.

tomorrow is a rest day because i have to fly to charlotte for my step-grandmother's memorial service. up and back in a day, yippee.
