10,000m on Concept2 Model C, 42:19, 9 OCT 06, Fort Leavenworth KS

Public Image Limited, "Rise" (right ethos, wrong tempo - too slow)
Asobi Seksu, "I'm Happy But You Don't Like Me" (right tempo, wrong tone)

Z4-Z5.

Today ended up being a personal record at 10,000m. Not sure how, not sure why, but I was able to hold 2:05/500m for the first 2000m cut. After that, it was just a matter of not slowing down much. Much of the last 2000m was done at paces ranging from 1:58-2:04/500m. That was a nice change of pace.

It also underscores the basic disparity of speed. I was spinning at 6:49/mile pace. Encouraging, but depressing at the same time. I don't remember the last time I ran 6:49/mile for 10km, but I think it was 1998.
