7.8mi, 64:59, 11 JAN 09, Bagram, Afghanistan

Day 334 of the campaign.

iThink:
Bear McCreary, "Passacaglia"
Kenny Loggins, "Danger Zone" (Yes, I saw strike fighters taking off and thought of the film Top Gun.)
Cheap Trick, "Mighty Wings" (The next song on the soundtrack. Yes, I had the soundtrack. On tape. 22 years ago.)

WX at 0130: 28 (-2) DP 23 (-5) BP 30.27 (1025) NW 7 RH 81

Odometer 4: 52.8mi

Z4.
Average/max heart rate = 161/177.

This is perimeter run 67.

Work has been nucking futs lately. It is an indicator that I've been so ridiculously busy that the only time I can work out is at 1:30am when work is done. That is so wrong, in so many, ways, and yet there's not a whole lot I can do about it.

I was pleasantly surprised at the opening pace, until I realized I was going to have to work a hell of a lot harder to maintain what I thought was a reasonable pace. The usual crossover from suck to go that happens at around the 25-30 minute mark happened, and once I was past it, I was mostly steady for pace. It is the first substantive outside run that I've done in a week. That's not so good.

I realized I've been getting fatter lately, so I've been making some changes in my diet and trying to eat less. I'm not sanguine about being able to carve out time to run more, so I'll have to intake fewer calories. It is what it is.
