2.33mi + 4,000m on Concept2 Model D, 22:23 + 17:07, 29 DEC 10, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas

iThink: "The model of a modern university" (thank you, Johns Hopkins alumni spam!)

WX at 0700: 37 (3) DP 35 (2) BP 29.77 (1008) S 12 mist RH 93

Odometer 2: 270.3mi equivalency

Z3 ingress, Z4 row/Z5 finish, Z4 egress.
Average/max heart rate = 155/172 run only

Today's iThink was a true earwig that would not dislodge. I guess if I'd really tried, I'd have dug out Dos Gringos' "Going in For Guns" or "The Legend of Shaved Dog's Ass" which are old faithfuls when I wanted to forcibly eject children's music from my mind.

I was thinking about trying to hit the gym for a session on the erg as I've been trying to get back into physical therapy in earnest. It's getting there, but I don't think I've ever had a leisurely session on the erg. Today was no exception; I was holding zone 4 in the last 1500m just to hang on, and went for my usual zone 5 effort at the finish, which inevitably creates enough lactic acid (or whatever) that I feel like I want to woof. Yay.

But not as yay as the run back. I tried really hard not to look at the clock on the runs, because I know those times suck monkey balls.

Is it bad when it's over freezing and I realize sweatpants and a sweatshirt are too much snivel gear for the temperature? Sad, sad, sad.
