Day 308 of the campaign.

WX at 0030: 42 (6) DP 8 (-13) BP 30.09 (1019) Variable 2 RH 24

Odometer 4: 15.6mi

Z3-4.
Average/max heart rate = 166/179

This is perimeter run 60.

I could've chickened out, but I was curiously alert at midnight and wanted to go get a run in while I felt curiously okay (in spite of getting less sleep than I really wanted).

The weather was also uncharacteristically warm for the middle of December, so the opportunity was too good to pass up.

I tried to get a more controlled start than usual, and I think it paid some dividends - although there's a very definite cut line where I started picking up the speed, after the first five miles or so. This is consistent with the usual 35 minutes or so it takes me to get fully warmed up, and the finishing portion of this run is indicative of the controlled start. I felt much better finishing than I think I ordinarily would have had I done my usual jackrabbit start.
