8.5mi, 72:53

Saxon Shore, "Amber, Ember, Glow"
Cruiserweight, "This Ain't No Beach Party"

WX at 0800: 42 (6), DP 21 (-6), BP 30.39 (1029), winds NNE 12, RH 41%

Odometer 2: 340mi

Z2-3 low.
Resting heart rate before start = 59 (146/106)

After four days of not working out, eating, and most notably, recreational drinking, I gained abour 5 pounds, and significantly, my blood pressure is higher than it's ever been. Ever. This is bad, bad, bad.

Time to go see the doctor on Monday. I'll be embarrassed to think that I have to get high blood pressure medicine at the advanced age of 33. Either that, or I have to get some major lifestyle changes in. Maybe both.

On the other hand, today's run was faster than expected, and it had the slowest start, and lowest relative effort of the ones I've done on this course. Or so it seems. So what gives?
