5.5mi (8x400 intervals)

David Whittaker, Title music from the ancient computer game Speedball

WX at 0700: 73 (23), DP 69 (21), BP 30.14 (1020.6), E 3 fog/mist, RH 87%

Odometer 3: 168.0mi

Z4 high.
Resting heart rate before start = no reading.

The weather keeps getting shittier, the times keep getting faster. Splits are getting faster (although not consistently). Rest times between splits aren't by much, though.

That points to two factors:
1 - I was energized by my residual fury from last night.
2 - I'm actually getting fitter.

David Whittaker's theme from Speedball makes a usable speedwork mantra, probably a better one than Henry Rollins' "Drive-By Shooting." The mindset is the same, though. It's still about beating the crap out of people in one setting or another.

Some would say that it's not healthy to seethe as much as I do, but I'm not dead yet.

Splits
1: 96/2:40

3: 92/2:48

6: 103/2:55
7: 95/2:54
