7.1mi, 61:50, 16 APR 09, Fort Campbell, Kentucky

Day 429 of the campaign.

WX at 0700: 45.7 (7.6) DP 41.9 (5.5) BP 30.29 (1025) NNE 5 RH 86

Odometer 4: 171.8mi

Z3.
Average/max heart rate = 158/171

Today was the first long run in a while. I decided to see if I could go 7 or so, and while the start was ugly (partly because my hip flexors were sore) I was fully warmed up by about mile 5 and I was running substantially faster than I thought - in some segments, as fast as 8:00/mi, which is a major achievement after the last few months. It's been a while since I've run negative splits of that size.

Today also was punctuated by a chance encounter with one of my old bosses this morning, who is the current division director of operations, plans, training, and mobilization here.

Running is a little more difficult because of the lifting and ab work, but if I can sustain it, the returns will be there for certain.
