I needed to get something in during the afternoon because I know I won't get any opportunity tonight. Thus, 6.5 on the dreadmill, which I found harder than usual, maybe because I was going faster in actual pace than I usually go. As a result, I was well into zone 4 most of the run and according to the chart, I was into zone 5 for most of the last 20 minutes, which implies that today might really be considered a max VO2 day.

I don't usually find good mantras on the dreadmill, but I was reminded of a trip I'd taken to Cleveland almost two decades ago when I was dating someone at the time. It was in the middle of January, and it was cold, but I remember that trip very, very well. For a variety of reasons. No, I don't really know why that came to mind.
