- run x
got dressed and out the door this morning but turned around at the end of the block. haven't had this feeling in a while where it just seems like my body is actively fighting my brain's desire to run. decided to listen to body this morning. not sure where that comes from: sleep has been okay and training load hasn't been especially high, i've been firmly in the gray on intervals.icu for a while now. i may try to run later if i feel a bit peppier, or may just take the full extra day off. worried that the rest will slip me toward "peaking" shape too soon but hopefully tomorrow's workout will balance things back out.

ETA: wife pointed out that i might be a bit dehydrated. that's actually plausible.

Notes

nice. had a caffeinated gel before this one. for weekday runs, i get up, drink water, visit toilet, and them am out the door. haven't felt like either prepping a drinks bottle or then carrying one with me on runs, but decided to try out fueling a bit before sessions. seems helpful. though given it's getting a bit warm, at least warm enough that i am now actually sweating during a run, i may have my hand forced and return to taking water

gobble gobble!

 

What's the vert of these birds? 🤔

mostly like 5', though one of the small silkies i've seen go straight up like 10' lmao.

wild turkeys can go straight up, like 10-20'. i've seen them do it on the property.

these fat heritage turkey pets can do like 5'  🤣



man the turkeys crack me up every day. goofiest birds we have. follow me around all day, it's hilarious 🤣

i've started having marathon anxiety dreams. over the weekend there was one where i got the start line feeling good and ready and then realized that i had forgotten all my gels. and then the marathon turned out to be most running through apartment buildings, up and down stairs and jumping across alleyways from building to building, like in an action movie. last night i had one where the course was a double out-and-back but the first part was inside my friend walker's house in LA, and at some point i just started only running within the house. i lost track of how far i'd gone and panicked when i realized i'd been running the course wrong. and then he told me that there was a survey for participants to fill out, so i took a break to fill it out before realizing that i was losing even more time and didn't have to do it until after the race.

nerves, much?

also, it occurs to me for the first time that labyrinths or mazes (e.g., running through houses or apartment buildings, from room to room, while not being sure how to go or what will be around the next corner) have long been a motif in my dreams. wonder what that's about.
