3.0mi (3x400 intervals)

AC/DC, "Thunderstruck"

WX at 0600: 75 (24), DP 72 (22), BP 29.82 (1009.6), SW 3 fog/mist, RH 90%

Odometer 3: 142.6mi

Z4 mid start, Z1 finish
Resting heart rate before start = 56 (120/68)

It's been a long while since I cut a workout short because I felt so bad. When my fastest split is 105 at reasonably hard effort, the point of diminishing returns has been reached. I wogged my way back to the quarters here at Carlisle Barracks.

I was hoping I could drill my way through today's speedwork, but I think I'll have to take a rain check on that one. WX is supposed to improve greatly tomorrow but I guess I'll see. Actually, Friday would be a great day for a hard (whether long or fast) run so I'll consider this an easy day (as it was for the last two miles of it) and see how I feel tomorrow. If I feel good enough to go fast tomorrow, I'll try it.

As bad as I think being here is, let's compare it to North Carolina right now:
WX at KFBG, 0600: 80 (27), DP 73 (23), BP 29.89 (1012), W 5 mostly clear, RH 78%
Actually, it's not that much worse at home. It's probably even a little nicer since the RH is lower.

Wait for tomorrow. Nothing else to do today but eat. And study, but more importantly, nothing physical before trying again.

Splits
1: 104/2:44
2: 112/2:37
3: 105/2:52 retired today
