Odometer 2: 109.4mi

Z3 high.
Average/max heart rate = inaccurate reading. There's no way I was beating 247 bpm at the start. I guess I didn't prep the heart rate monitor enough.

First actual run in a while. I spent most of yesterday reading through James Brooks' Captives and Cousins, which is good history, but something that's hard for me to latch onto since it's so far outside even nominal interest. That took much longer than expected.

Today was good running weather, but I'm acclimated to 19F being closer to how I normally regard 35F. That's an indicator of how cold a winter this has been.

On the other hand, I was gratified that I wasn't holding above 9:00/mi average pace in any given mile, even the ones that have lots of uphill segments.

For what it's worth, the original "Rendezvous with Destiny" lyrics from the 101st Airborne Division:

We have a rendezvous with destiny
Our strength and courage strike the spark
That will always make men free
Jump right down through the skies of blue
Keep your eyes on the job to be done
We're the men of the Hundred-First
We'll fight 'til the battle's won

Screaming Eagles diving from the sky
Diving boldly from the air
Now it's time to jump- look out below!
Stand up, hook up, Screaming Eagles, go!

(first verse repeated)

The current version now sung in the 101st deletes the second verse (no longer on jump status), changes "Jump" to "Assault" (now an air assault division), and changes "men of the Hundred-First" to "soldiers of the Hundred-First" (there are women in the division now). Tradition yields to progress, and rightly so.
