Z3 no man's land.

Today presented a great opportunity for a long run...and a tempo one at that. Unfortunately, the tempo is lacking if I'm in no man's land most of the run and I can only eke out 62 minutes. Some of this is attributable to the holiday season (and I get pretty fucking curmudgeonlike around x-moose time), some of it is just lack of consistent training.

I don't think there's anyone around my speed to run with in the mornings, and meeting up with a running partner has its own challenges. Then again, I might be better off doing PT with a group in the morning; I might actually do something other than run. My pushups and situps (and occasional pullups) are limited mostly to the month prior to a physical fitness test.

Tomorrow marks the return of the cold. This has been a bizarre December for weather, though. Warm up front, cold as shit earlier this week, nice today, wet turning cold and shitty into x-moose.
