Hey hey!
Holy Mackerel! I did a massive job on my hamstrings on Monday night.
On Monday I did my run, my hill sprints, and then because I was pretty tired, just did a bunch of box steps (which are less energetic than box jumps). I forgot, however, that box jumps work the quads, and box steps work the hamstrings.
This means I've been ignoring my hamstrings for 13 days... and for the last 2 days, they've been telling me how much that hate that.

I've had allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the DOMS in my hamstrings.
So much so, that I attempted one hill sprint and barely got 5 steps. I was intending to do some gentle squats, but gave all of it away while my legs recover.
My legs are so bossy!
I had my slowest run in absolutely ages. 29 minutes and 33 seconds for my hilly 3.8km run. I walked so much... and by walk I mean a super slow embarrassing shuffle. Good ol DOMS.
Total non-event.
Also, non-event. Maybe I can distract you with this:

These guys were absolutely killer. Glad to have 'em on board.

Great with the diet today... but I'm actually wondering if it's for me.
I dunno, I need to think about it some more, but I'm just not loving it. Not like I have with other diets in the past.
Going to do my stretches and rehab now. Honestly, I'm worried I'm not going to sleep tonight because I feel like I've barely moved. I'm feeling a little jumpy and energetic, but also really sore and tired. I'm a riddle.
I'm hoping some good ol stretches will get me back on track and calm me down before bed.
Thanks for reading!

While we’ve been here we’ve been doing hills (but not sprints) as there are actually easy to access hills (the entire island is hill but anyway). I hate hills 🤣
So you’re restless, make like a shark until you’re entirely sore and tired 😆

Hahaha, just lazily move around until I see something I want to eat... done!
So... you're in NZ now? But you were in Northern Australia for a bit?

Also -- what's the diet that you're not diggin? Still the intermittent fasting?

Yeah! I actually thought of doing a yoga sesh... especially since I was so restless. The only problem with yoga is that my elbow seems to hate it... not during the session when I could modify, but the last couple of times I've gone through a session, been fine, and then my elbow has been on fire for the next two days.
So, ah, highly controversial, but I've been trying a carnivorous diet lately. Since I'm way too pale with a ginger tinge, I was curious if my viking ninja dna had a leaning towards the carnivore. It's been working well, I don't feel sluggish, I'm legit eating a 3rd of what I was but haven't lost or gained weight... by every metric a meaty meal a day totally works for me....except.... it's gross and I hate it.
We attach so much emotion to food, and I wanted to steer away from that and just be scientific about it, but it's the emotional side that I'm really struggling with.

Ah yeah -- it's no good if your elbow is blowin' up afterwards. Still dealing with the 'climbers elbow' I guess, hey? I'm sure it'll ease off after some rest and maintenance time. How long has it been bothering you for?
I wish there was some kind of home-kit for nutrition / bloodwork you could get, and take a look and see what kind of macro-nutrients you might need to improve, and what macro-nutrients you might effectively be "ODing" on coughprobablyproteincough.
Regardless though -- so long as you're taking care of yourself -- eat what makes you feel best, I say. What works for one, doesn't necessarily work for all.
