Prior to another run with the Younger, I needed to get in a proper 10,000 on the erg first.  So I did.  I didn't sleep for shit last night, but at least I got in 10km.  I had to get this in to stave off the full-up throwback to the bad old days of 2009.  One of my triggers from that period fired yesterday and last night fucking sucked monkey balls.  Flat out.  Apart from picking up the Cancer Sticks(tm) again, which is an expensive and rather lethal habit, or trying to medicate with low-grade or high-grade alcohol, I needed to get this in.  Badly.

1.91mi of easy wogging, teaching the Younger about disciplined, controlled pacing in endurance work.
