Just testing out the new technology. Went for a run at night. Pretty cold out there — about 20º.
I expect to add a bunch more of these as it gets warmer.

Did another 10-set of burpees today.
Looking at my calendar, I’ve only worked out once in the last week. It’s been pretty busy with work. I’ve committed to put work (and some other things) in front of exercising as a priority. One possibility to ensure that I work out a bit more is to go to the official spin class at my gym.
I’ve also switched to drinking Soylent to save time. This hasn’t really helped too much since I find that I need to eat considerably more than the entire 2L bottle of soylent per day. So I still need (more or less) a meal on top of all the Soylent. Still, I don’t mind the taste, especially with version 1.4.
I took some time off running due to inflammation in the backs of my calves. Today I went to do a 1 mile run. My objective was to start measuring my progress from interval training.
My mile time was 7′ 19″. Not the fastest I’ve run; I ran a 7′ 11″ mile last June. Obviously I haven’t gotten any faster, which is a bit depressing. But it’s time to start pushing now that I can measure it.
Been a while since I’ve posted here, due to a bunch of work and an unplanned trip to somewhere warm.
Did some burpees yesterday, got my HR up to 176 and felt good.
Not sure about the Ironman, since I’m under pressure on a bunch of other dimensions. At this point I want to get my mile times down to something reasonable — like say 3 miles in 21 minutes. If I can actually get to that level of cardio fitness (and I have never done so in my life), then I’ll feel a lot more confident.
Some notes I took based on a very cool website (with citations).
The last couple days have been interesting — I slept 12 hours yesterday, and 10 hours today. I’m not quite sure why, but I think it might be related to recovering from 1) work last week, 2) my workout two days ago, 3) possibly, a sore throat that never really ended up hitting. In any case, my body seemed to really need it, so I let myself sleep in.
Have to be productive today, though. Getting on the bike in a few.
I’ve been in hiding for the last week or so working on a big project. Finally “finished” (more like failed in completing it) after about 60 hours. Managed to make it out with only mild sleep deprivation, a strange rash, and an acne breakout.
Getting back on the bike in a few minutes. The more I realize how monumental is the amount of work I have to do this year, the more I become unsure about committing to the Ironman. I mean, I can work out, but it’s psychologically a lot to do both.
About to get on the bike for the next 13 minutes. Thought I would quickly run down the electronic gear that I have now and think about what I want to get.
They’ve moved to a new schedule where I will have to go either at 7pm, or at lunch time.
