Last night marked a fairly pointed drunk festival marked principally by my two trips to the karaoke microphone. It's the first time I did, and the fact that I got up twice is testament to my obliteratedness. One of those songs, by the way, was "Secret Agent Man." The other was "Live and Let Die" by Wings.

I was running with one of my coworkers who was up in Arlington for work at the Pentagon. He's training for the Marine Corps Marathon in October, so he wanted to go for a run, and I definitely didn't need to go hard after yesterday, not the least because of my epiphany this morning of two things when I woke up:

1 - I still smelled like alcohol (which was to be expected based on how much I drank).
2 - I might have quite possibly still have been slightly drunk when I woke up.

I'm quite sober now, and undoubtedly the residual alcohol seeped out of my pores on the run, but I guess that's not the point. On the other hand, I did get a good recovery run. Definitely not too hard, and that's a good thing.

Tomorrow will mark a smoker if I can wake up early enough to make it happen.

Splits
No reason. If you're timing a Z1 run, you're not timing it for the right reason. Out and back time about 53 minutes.
