Odometer 12A: 86.5mi

Z3 start, Z4 steady state. Average/max heart rate = 165/183

I haven't had a song this catchy (or for that matter, this jangly) as an earwig since I chanced on Tommy Keene in the late 1990s, or Velvet Crush a few years beforehand. For those who grew up on power-pop like Tommy Keene and Let's Active (and I guess Teenage Fanclub, which is the other band that gets mentioned but I never quite grabbed onto), this is a must.

I ordered the entire box set ($30 for six CDs, so a GREAT deal), this is that good. I haven't jumped to buy that fast since I forked out for the JudyBats' Native Son over two decades ago.

I didn't go out thinking I was going to go hard, but by mile 3, the desire to maintain speed had taken over and I started to go much harder than I expected.

First run in a week. I needed to because my coffee consumption is increasing to a liter a day (and yesterday it was gone by 3:30pm)and I needed to do something different.
