@Dayhoosier , how is the recovery going?

Meeting went better than expected.
Early lunch break before more calls this afternoon.

But feeling good today

How are you?

If the post lunch break goes well, I foresee an early afternoon enjoying your garden in your future.

@Dayhoosier , how is the recovery going?

Feet swelled yesterday which is pretty standard.... Still of course stiff and sore but overall good.

I'll get out for a couple of short walks today...a good epsom soak

Thank you for asking! That's kind of you

It's fascinating actually because shining an inward lamp has allowed me to refine a lot of the way my mind works and my thought processes to be more efficient. Take for example, language learning. I've been able to refine the way I absorb vocabulary in Italian and have gotten better at distinguishing noun gender through thinking about the way my mind files things.

In all seriousness, I'm pretty sure you're in your head a lot when you're running. Deriving from that the amount of introspection you surely would go through, you'd have a decent relationship with yourself as well? Having said that, I'm sure there are dark thoughts too. It's how you defend and process them I guess.

You speak 3 or 4 languages correct?

I only speak two, and that is stretching it. But gender placement and plurals give me issues.

Yep!
Was productive with my insomnia and got a couple of hours of work done last night so may treat myself to an early finish this afternoon

That was an impressive distance and to finish top 5 is really impressive.

I would imagine that it takes a good 3-4 days to even begin to resume to feel normal.

Correct. English is technically actually my second language. I acquired Cantonese from my parents before I even started at school. Italian noun gender fortunately doesn't have that many exceptions. In order of acquisition it was Cantonese, English, Japanese then Italian.

Chinese character recognition can be challenging but fortunately there are particle systems that make deciphering them a little easier even if you don't necessarily know what the character represents.

Translating between the languages and processing them in my mind is another post that I won't go into....

I need to pick some good background music for my work morning. Whom should I start my day with?

White Stripes
Fall Out Boy
Mumford & Sons

Other group?

It does but because the next one is only like six weeks away I need to be somewhat aggressive with recovery .... I'm eating everything I can get my hands on (insert joke here)

I feel your pain there my friend!

I can get on board with that. I am tentatively scheduled to see Foo Fighters this summer if plans hold.

Congratulations again BTW. I expect a massage is in order?

Are you going to be able to effectively recover then train up for the new race in that time frame? That is not an insignificant distance my friend.

Kona. Black. Better make it a triple, I have to people today and there's a potential inspection and I have to pretend not to have political opinions.

 

[Nylonian]

Mmmhm. Juggling between translating for root language accuracy or translating to nativise the concept is a constant internal battle for me.

That was awesome, congrats on finishing that!

This is the true real life answer....I've had exactly one massage in my life and it was about 13 years ago.... But I'm sure it'd be nice

Just the jumble of words in different words as I work to form a sentence in one language as I wrestle with vocabulary and grammar intracrisies get me.

I've done these two in the same year before.... Only difference was last year I did the 350 mile June race and this will be 400 but I'm not so worried about that part.

What? Surely you'd at least have a massage gun to help with your recovery? Please tell me you do. Don't make me fly to Ohio to give you one.

 

[Dayhoosier]

Thank you. That's kind of you as well. But YOU deserve the congrats. What you're accomplishing this weekend is more meaningful on so many levels. Hopefully you are just basking in it

You are truly a hero! Those are insane and impressive distances to run back to back!

I would think it would assist in recovery. I would consider hydrotherapy as well.

Yes I own a massage gun
