Odometer 14A: 415.3mi

Z4.  Max heart rate = 167

Today was rainy and generally shitty, much like certain elements of my work.  I was seriously thinking about skipping out, but decided to stay the course and at least do SOMETHING today.  So I erged 10,000, and I felt better.  Mostly.

I've kept my expectations low as I haven't erged in a while, and so I won't be very strong relative to some of the times I've clocked while I've been here.

Today was a very deliberate effort to control heart rate and not go much beyond anaerobic threshold at first, then not to go totally into oxygen debt.  It was kind of rough, but not as much as it would've been had I just ground it out full bore, which I wasn't ready (or willing) to do.
