Took a couple of rest days b/c I could feel my hamstring & feared possible injury. After a consideration of time spent in each HR zone over previous runs, it was clear that I was overdoing the pace, even with 4/1 min run/walk intervals. I ~could~ do that pace, but I ~should~ dial it back a bit & build fitness. Anaerobic all the time wasn’t helping.

On a very few occasions I’ve had #dreams while my eyes are open. I’m asleep—a couple times when napping on an afternoon, a few more at night, in the dark.

Ich rüste meinen Schnittplatz auf. Kommt unter den Schreibtisch, weil ich die Töne, die da rauskommen, ohnehin nicht hören will. Nicht, dass knackige Bässe nicht geil sein können. Aber bei Interviews und den meisten Atmos ist auf Frequenzen unter 100 Hz meist nur noch akustischer Müll zu hören, die mit ihren Oberwellen den wichtigen Sprachbereich (Grundton der Stimme) verschmutzen. Also: wenn diese Membran künftig vibriert, werde ich handeln.

"Faced with economic stagnation the elites are panicking. Wild eyed in the control room, they thrash around seeking to fix the unfixable, pushing all the buttons, pulling all the levers, to no avail, just making things worse. They try the old mantra “growth”, repeated endlessly, and given a priority above all else"
