you have great legs!

Thanks, I've been working out!

Long run sucked yesterday. Energy levels were completely shot by mile 5 and it took me far longer to get back home. There was a nice breeze on the beach though.

Running on the beach, in the sand, is one of my least favorite things. Completely fucks up your pace, form, gait & gets sand in your shoes.

Got two postcards from Sam in Peru! No idea why they took almost a month to arrive, but no complaints, mail always makes me smile! (Thanks Sam!)

Just realized that I bought the wrong stock on Thursday. Not sure if it's worth holding or if I should cut my losses now (a hundred-dollar mistake).

Whole body is sore from the past week of running. Pulling a 46-mile week which is up from the 25-mile week's prior is no simple task. It could be considered risking injury, but I'm looking out for any signs of trouble. A full rest day today, then back at it on Monday.

Just noticed that my passport is accumulating a layer of dust.

My ideal amount of sleep is 7hr30m which is right about when I'll wake up without an alarm and feel 100% rested and refreshed.

That sounds beautiful. Sometimes I wished I lived near the ocean.

It's easy for me to forget that there's moments of beauty to be found in this densely populated suburban metro-area. There's hardly any public land (it's all private, rich-people estates). The downside of east coast ocean is that there's no mountains. The highest point in Connecticut is just the slope of a mountain in Massachusetts.

I also woke up at 5 something. I then ran a mile and cried about it to everyone I could get a hold of (most of China and Snapchat). Running is the worst.

When it's good, running is the best. When it's bad, it's really, really bad. One day you'll have that magical, life-changing run where it all makes sense.

so speedy.

I don't know where my speed came from today, it didn't feel like I was pushing the pace all that much. Saturday was below mileage and Sunday was a zero so perhaps that's it.

I imagine an alien of sorts, stumbling upon this satellite to find geckos inside, thinking the gecko is the alien and never even knowing that creatures like humans exist as well.

It looks like there might be call for further use of a suit later in the week. I'll post another self-indulgent selfie if it happens.

I've seen Katie and Sam talking about training for the Zion half marathon and never thought to look up where that was.

I'm in the midst of trying to plan a vacation to Zion National Park, and I don't know how I didn't connect the dots that there was in fact a half marathon in the park.

So I googled it and found out that there are in fact 7 half marathon races in national parks, and now I have a new bucket list item. Because, my god, I can't think of anything better than running through all of the pretty.
