8.0mi, 74:24, 16 JUL 10, Cary, North Carolina

iThink: The Strawbs, "Lay Me Down"

WX at 0900: 81.0 (27.2) DP 68.0 (20.0) BP 30.09 (1018) NNE 3 RH 64

Odometer 3: 71.0mi

Z3 high.
Average/max heart rate = 155/173

First run away from the coast and the lowered humidity was blissful. I got a later start but I wanted to make sure I was fully hydrated before taking on eight miles. Somewhere around 40 minutes I was fully warmed up and running what I think was about half marathon pace, even going uphill.

It's been a while since I've had a long run that was as therapeutic as this one. It felt pretty damn good, until I started playing chicken on my egress from the American Tobacco Trail, which doing so, as a rule, has always basically sucked monkey balls.

The Strawbs iThink was dead on for this morning, not only for pacing but also for thematics. I don't mind travel, but it's come to return to home station. My Incipient Case of the Ass has flared up a lot lately. Leading indicators normally include the incidence of the phrases of "motherfucker" or "jesus titty fucking christ" used as expletives, which has increased a lot recently. Nothing new, of course.
