Z3.
Resting heart rate before start = 51

Easy start relative to most other long runs netted a mostly successful attempt to get negative splits, although I had no goals (really) for today. I just wanted a good long run. I got it.

Tomorrow's forecast for the jump calls for wet snow and rain. I remain optimistic but privately my judgment is telling me "no fucking way." Unfortunately, next week isn't looking so opportune for jumps either, although I have two scheduled. Sure hope the winter decides to stop short of Fort Bragg tomorrow, just for a day. If not, then I'm going to have to find some place to go for a run out of sheer catharsis...but I quote James Webb's A Sense of Honor when I say "it's not heart that keeps you in this...it's asshole." Nonetheless, all I want is 6 jumps. That's not too much to ask. Really.
