in-progress painting for my study About 2-3 years ago I took up painting as a way to get in touch with my malnourished inner morrillo. Times spent in poverty affects cognitive planification of future self, but as Sandra Cisneros wrote in 1984, "They will not know I have gone away to come back". Perhaps then, it's not a malnourished childhood, but something that I've pressed pause on, and the probabilities of life have allowed me to still be physically here at 28 years old of age, and revisit so many of these internet mind tabs I've kept open for so long. Oi, what a blessing this randomness is, raza.  My version of a Greek Vessel What a short time I have lived. The following of heart and savoring the consequences of this simple trusting act is a construction of a feeling you can't explain in 3-dimensional terms. More on the interplay of art on running soon. I'm really craving some watermelon right now. Phase 1: Week 6 of 8 Monday, January 16th 9 miles + 6 x 100m Great run around the lake with Isaque. Felt really easy for the pace despite still feeling a little off. Pretty much just chatted about culture assimilation the whole loop. Overall great day! Tuesday, January 17th 2 miles easy + 20 x 150m + 2 miles easy Felt a little off. Likely went a little too fast yesterday for 9 miles, but pulled through the workout. Legs were heavy during, but they felt a little more loose after finishing. Cough went away so hoping tomorrow is a better day. Wednesday, January 18th 2 miles easy + 12 x (1 min/30 sec/20 sec) + 2 miles easy Ran with Guero down the Santa Fe trail. Felt a little tired from Tuesday and Monday, but glad I didn't get dropped. Still found the workout a little tough despite it being at threshold pace. Thursday, January 19th 9 miles easy Cruising down the lake. Felt minor pain in left knee and heel. Likely need to work better on recovery later this week and next. Friday, January 20th Have been wanting to run on Fridays, but lately I've woken up really tired and found it better to just rest and stretch. Saturday, January 21st 2 miles easy + 6 x (800m + 400m) + 1.5 miles easy Great Mexicas team workout. The team was feeling strong from the start with the first 800m at 2:47 and dropping down to 2:35 for the last one. 400ms were done at 1:16 and up to 1:18. For some reason I found the 400s a little harder than the 800m. Let's see how this plays out in the 10k next week. Sunday, January 22nd 12 miles Completely missed my first alarm Showed up an hour late for our team long run. It's been awhile since I've embarked on solo long run, but felt strong physically and mentally. Feeling exquisite! Linger like angel dust, Octavio Valentino |
