Roller derby 24:09 1.24 mi (19:28 / mi)
ahr:131 max:150
Slept crappy last night (possibly bc my arm was sore from the shot, but I felt silly taking a tylenol!), and I didn't feel too great in the morning. Sleep tracker yelling at me again about recovery metrics. In the evening I felt like doing something though, so I just went for a quick skate! I ended up finding my friend and her dog on the way over, and we'd had a plan to find each other while I was skating so she could teach him not to react to roller skaters, and so I got to help train my second-favorite dog Winston! He did really well and only barked once, but that was probably because I made eye contact with him and acted like I was gonna skate over.
The rest of the day was pretty good too! My grandpa, mom, dad, and aunt all got their vaccines, I made 3 double batches of chocolate pudding (12 total bananas, 6 total avocados, and 3 total cups of cacao powder, 58ish mg of iron), and also I started doing taxes/financial planning and found out that grad students who only have fellowship income are allowed to contribute to IRAs! It used to be that I had to have W2 income (i.e. TAships), and since I wasn't paying attention to tax rule updates I thought I was gonna have to undo some auto-contributions I accidentally made at the beginning of 2020, but instead I get to keep it in and add more! So now I'm excited about taxes :)
Right ball of foot hurts slightly from skating. I did bunny-hops for the first time, which are a thing I learned from figure skating videos but are also useful for transition between skates and toe stops for roller derby. Could do them rolling a bit, but not too fast yet. It turns out taking off on my left toe stop and pushing with my right is fine, but vice versa hurts my right foot. I should ice/do topical anti-inflammatory. Also did some one-legged transitions on my left foot and could kind of start to do the direction turning towards the outside, but I kept putting my right foot down. But a good start!
