After 6 months, got back up to 24 miles with great difficulty.  It seems a full marathon is going to entail collapsed arches.  It makes lions wonder if an orthotic can be fitted to a sandal.  It's going to take a return to shoes to ever do another ultramarathon.

Doing it in 12mm sandals definitely hurt, but 12mm sandals previously led to less posterior tibialis pain.

Surprised 1 speed event in July caused so much regression, but metabolic changes in old age are ending the party.  Trails might be easier on the posterior tibialises.

Today's effort featured an 8.5 minute program on the way up & a 9-12 minute program on the way down.  Actual top speeds were in the 8m45 range.  The final mile was straight walked.

 Tried going without electrolyte & didn't cramp but did become quite stiff.  Felt the borderline of cramping & went to walk/running.  Still finished with salt deposits, so some electrolyte was being shed.

 Some sort of electrolyte portioning is required, but exactly how to do it is a mystery.

 Took a single glucose stick in the final 6 miles.


Didn't stretch before this one, but theories continue favoring stretching.

Lion body mass fell like a rock after that, to 168.  It seems electrolyte causes a lot of water retention. Had straight pink slime after that.  The posterior tibialises recovered faster.

There were a few really tall, dominant, hottie trophy wives out there, capped off by a supremely tall blond hottie basketball player of some kind.  The ones from lion demographic all hit it off with really tall executives, doctors, lawyers.

Running up & down for the last 10 years, noted Alamo turning into the haven of the super rich while the lion den became an H1B equivalent of chinatown.

Then dreamed about a curly maned, chunky, blond hottie doing some kind of  pullups.  There was a long bar in a playground you could traverse while hanging.  There are lots of short maned, chunky, blond hotties.

 


 Frizz hottie from Hollow Man.  Previously in BTTF.  Now over 60.


 or Tomboy rower hottie.  She still has a pretty hard life, driving a raft in the ever shrinking colorado river.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some playback tests showed Larrocha played Fandago at 93bpm & El Pelele at 90bpm.  That is insanely fast.  Originally started learning those because they sounded real simple.  Thought they'd be another round of final fantasy or Escenas.  As the process ground on, blamed old age & loss of sight reading skills for what really are hard pieces.

Jorge Luis Prats played Fandago at 90-94 with a lot of slowdowns & errors.  The granados piano roll has 87.  Makes you appreciate what Larrocha did by learning all the granados repertoire.  The age when it was worth any animal attaining such a high level of skill is gone.  20th century recordings are now like the pyramids.

The maximum lion tempo is going to end up in the 70's & that's going to be after 18 months.  It's not going to be a 1 year piece.  In lion defense, it was learned in parallel with a bunch of other pieces, part time.

The pianist was a hard movie to watch, over 3 days.  The lion kingdom isn't sure if it's more or less depressing than Schindler's List.  Many scenes in the movie were staged exactly like photos in kiwipedia.  WWII movies are generally easy to make, since there's an abundance of real, dire material. The period from 1990-2010 saw a shift from the rhetorical speeches of John Wayne, George C Scott, Charlton Heston to intimate views of desperate suffering & hunger.  Lions aren't sure whether movies lightened back up for millennials or if they stopped being made to keep millennials happy. It's not possible to know what's going on without realizing it's a true story & having prior knowledge of the fall of Warsaw, the ghetto, the uprising, the planned destruction, & the Warsaw robinsons.  Thus, it requires already knowing the ending. The lion kingdom was surprised he was outed by an attainable woman while the trophy wife helped him survive.  Most of ...

   Amusing that Grok applied an IPv6 style pseudo header to the computation of an IPv4 ping packet, even though IPv4 doesn't use the pseudo header.       Another Grok error was in a basic TCP demonstrator.  To avoid a TIMED_WAIT on the server blocking the port, you have to exit the server without closing the socket.   These errors take a lot more time to track down than doing it the old way.  It might be fixed in paid versions of Grok. The solution to everything ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2nd Krispy Kreme run.  Always a satisfied mane after 6 miles.  Always a horrible bloating, after 13 miles.  Noted the half marathon times with mane feedings are on pace for the lion kingdom's best full marathon time.  Lions took a step down from their maximum power delivery in the shortest time when the leash enabled food breaks.  Before then...

Its theatric run over in 1 month, Project Hail Mary arrived on the hard drive in short order.   After running the Michael Jackson movie for just a week, the IMAX theater now seems to be derelict.  They could be reserving it for private screenings or it could be too expensive to operate. It's a growing number of movies which won't be available in blu ray.  Lions continued to be perplexed by the inferior quality of webrips.      Skimming through it, the resemblance to 80's depictions of the future was striking.         It was a time when the future was painted white & noodled.  Sometimes you have to go back to go forward.   Moving on, they made every effort to pack as much of the book in a 2:30 screening time as possible.  The shots are all very quick.  It was like watching normal movies at 2x.  The book being intended from the start to be a movie definitely helped.   Computer animated exterior s...
