8,000m on Concept2 Model E, 35:53.3, 3 MAR 12, Maxwell AFB, Alabama

iThink: Ultravox, "Vienna"

It feels a lot harder going 80% on the Concept2 than it does running. Not sure why, although I bet it has something to do with working everything rather than just running.

I entered the aerobics room (where the Concept2 is located) and there was a stationary bicycle spinning class in progress. Fortunately, the instructor was really nice about letting me erg in the back of the room while she and her students were at her class.

Not 10,000, but enough for today. I was also thinking about the flat-out most unsettling nightmare I'd had in a while, which was of being with my younger daughter at night in a bombed out hospital after a nuclear attack, not knowing where my wife or other daughter was, and trying to avoid getting rounded up by some group because we would be detained and probably die. Not sure where that came from, but it sure bothered me in a big, big way when I woke up this morning. Still does this evening.

iThink did not take in until after the spin class was done. I attribute it to watching a little bit of Ashes to Ashes this afternoon while I was processing through the 2GB worth of digital photos (over 2,000) I took at the AFHRA archives this past week, PDFing them, and OCRing them. The Core2Duo P8700 in my laptop was running hard all day after I started those batch jobs in Acrobat Professional.
