     “As writers, we don’t need companies like Medium to tell us how to use the web. Or define openness and democracy. Or tell us what’s a ‘waste of [our] time’ and what’s not. Or determine how and where readers experience our work. We need to decide those things for ourselves.”

  3. #trackattack is back!
    did a 400 warmup 800 800 800 800 4x200, abs
    workout: warmup 800 1600 800 1600 4x200, abs

    Reopening of Kezar Stadium has definitely brought a bigger crowd. We had 29 people today.

    Though I need to build back up to doing the full track workout, I did have a couple of minor personal achievements this morning.

    During part of the second 1600, when I was starting my 800, I managed to draft Jeff drafting Andy Cochrane for 200m (half a lap). Though Andy is still in recovery mode he's still ridiculously fast from my perspective. Being able to "keep up" with Andy, even for just a half a lap, even when he was "taking it easy", and in the middle of a 1600, felt like doing the impossible, and emboldened me to push harder on average in my other runs, including...

    On the second 200 I made sure to take-off exactly when Kate said go. As I exited the turn onto the back straight, I started kicking farther back & up, and managed to pass & finish that 200 ahead of a couple of people who are usually much faster than me. I could barely breathe afterwards.

    Also my 1 year trackiversary was 2015-063 (20 days ago) tantek.com/2014/064/t2/yesterday-npsf-track-kezar-trackattack

    Hard to believe I've been running track workouts (on & off, mostly on) for over a year.
