Resting heart rate before start = no reading today.

I wasn't sure how today was going to feel, and the start wasn't particularly auspicious for what wasn't supposed to be a recovery run. Today wasn't a hard run, but it was at tempo. After yesterday's trip to the zoo, my legs were probably tired from dragging 90 pounds of gear and children around in a Radio Flyer wagon, but not so tired that today's pace was embarrassingly slow.

On another note: some people have iPods. I'm too cheap (or haven't convinced my wife that I need one) so I have an iThink (i.e., the one in my skull). The iThink is free but suffers from inconsistent memory. Today's iThink was also on the Preview Shuffle Mode from Hell since I was continuously bouncing between 4 songs or so over the first six miles. It was, to quote Anthrax out of contest, "caught in a mosh."

It wasn't until the last mile and a half that I settled into the Mary Lou Lord song, finally.
