Rob Zombie, "Feel So Numb"
WX at 0700: 66 (19) DP 62 (17) BP 29.95 (1014) NNW 10 mist RH 88 drizzle
Odometer 3: N/A.
Z3 low, average heart rate 149.
Some lifting, after a week off (effectively), I actually seem to have gotten stronger - or maybe it's just the rest allowing my muscles to actually grow back.
Time precluded me from going much longer.
It's perhaps fitting today that I made it a point not to sleep in this morning, as I have the last few days. Inevitably, it's hard not to think about where one was the day of the 9/11/01 attacks; I was a cavalry troop commander at the time in the 82d Airborne Division, and fully expected to go to combat shortly, which didn't happen. I can only conjecture (at the time being on the Division Ready Brigade) that my brigade was being saved for something else.
As I write the campaign plan for a unit that will be committed for the ongoing operations that started in the wake of 9/11/01, the recollections of that time provide a useful touchstone for my efforts.
