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.

- 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.
