3.0mi + 10,000m on Concept2 Model D, 26:18 + 42:58.2, 5 AUG 09, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas

iThink: Bear McCreary, "Laura Runs"

WX at 0600: 68.0 (20.0) DP 64.0 (17.8) BP 30.05 (1017) NE 6 RH 87

Odometer 4: 336.6mi equivalency

Z3-Z4 finish.
Average/max heart rate = no reading.

I'm not sure if today's run felt better (although not any faster) because I simply haven't run in a while and my knees are perhaps healing.

My session on the erg this morning was actually productive, since I had no real expectations for anything substantial, but for going average effort (not easy) and being able to squeeze out something faster than 43 minutes, it was gratifying, if nothing else. I was doing this while a whole basketball court full of Crossfitters were killing themselves in front of me.

The return leg might have been slower had there not been a group running about the same speed and the same direction, so I started doing what I usually do - start zeroing in on the stragglers and picking them off.

Bear McCreary gives a great rundown of the thematics behind today's iThink in the bonus features of the Battlestar Galactica Season 4.5 box set.
