fundamental problem...

this morning i flashed a quasi-gang sign at oliver and he barked at me. oliver is tough on gangs.

the running is going shit-ily. i'm starting to wonder if i bit off a little more than i was ready for in terms of mileage. i'm just not recovering like i think i should. case in point, this mornings run started off stiff and sore. usually, this is present at the beginning of a run but then dissappears by the second mile. today it persisted until the bitter end. i cut the run short and now feel guilty about it even though it was the right thing to do.

i think i'm going to stick with the plan but reduce mileage by 10-15%. yea, that's it. not only do i want to break 3 hours (which frankly i could do now if i was fully rested) but i want to come out of this healthy.

i finally fixed the flat tire on my mountain bike. maybe now i'll ride it around the block or something. i also put a straight seat post on instead of a set back one. that feels a lot more natural for me. i have no point.

happy friday.
