Its starting to get cold out very fast :(. Over the past few weeks its been getting noticeably colder and last week it was 60s which is tolerable and not too bad but this week it skipped over the 50s and is like low 40s, I’m used to it so its not awful but i miss the warmer weather especially like during the summer where i could start sweating before i even started to warm up.

Today I utilized the indoor track and its very clear to me that the warmer conditions easily outweighs all of the negatives of being on the indoor track.

I have a lot to report today. I have really underestimated my upper body strength. The most I have ever tried benching was 170 but my training partner noticed how easily i was doing 2x165, so for the rep of one I wanted to try 185, and I did that comfortably, so then I tried 200 and it was the closest fail possible, I think if i were to try again i could have gotten it.
Also today I video timed some of the 30m Blocks and 60m (through 55m) Blocks. I wasn’t very happy with the times (4.32, 7.20) but after I account for the cool weather (high 40s). slight headwind, and where I am in the training cycle, I don’t think the times are too bad, i guess ill just have to wait and see…
My training partner who was about .3 faster in the 55 last year was only .2 faster today, so I guess that’s a good sign, although i would like to beat him or at least close that gap more.

Is it safe to assume that you’re doing a standing start for the 2x30m?

yes, unless i say otherwise, it means standing starts
