4.8mi, 39:37

I had a tough time settling on this morning's mantras.
I'd guess I went through about 15 different songs before settling on these:
Husker Du, "In A Free land"
New Order, "Dream Attack"
R.E.M., "Pretty Persuasion"

WX at 0600: 55 (13), DP 51 (11), BP 30.08 (1018), winds Variable 1, RH 87%

Odometer 2: 98mi. Yes, I repeated a set of shoes at home, which I ordinarily try to avoid.

Z4 most of the way. I wanted to do this one at tempo to try to sharpen off my existing mileage base.

Today was warmer, noticeably, by about 10 F. That might have affected performance somewhat, but made for a much more comfortable run. My last 1.4 split was at about 80% full effort most of the way back (at least after the first 0.5km) and included a good hill climb. I was very well warmed and limbered up; the split shows.

I might have to pay attention to form later on. I noticed my stride is a little abrupt when I'm hitting oxygen debt at the start. That might have some repercussions later for my knees.

Splits:
1.4 11:44 11:44 08:23
2.0 28:23 16:39 08:20
1.4 39:37 11:14 08:01
