2x5,000m on Concept2 Model D, 23:16.5 + 23:02.3, 15 JAN 24, Carlisle, Pennsylvania

iThink: none as I was watching a few episodes of the show of Lucifer on Netflix.

WX at 7 PM (0) Jan 15     26.1 (-3.3)     19.0 (-7.2)     30.19 (1022)     Calm     

Odometer 21B: ~340mi

TE 4.2/0.0, Z3.6, max Z5.3.  Average/max heart rate = 150/168

I spent the last day and a half eating a lot of pizza and drinking a lot. This is a deliberate attempt to make up for that (given that I gave up a 152/90 blood pressure reading earlier today, so that's also not good).

I did two sets of 5k, with harder finishes at the end. I was pleasantly surprised at my ability to hold effort well into anaerobic threshold pace, especially on the second set that I was pulling harder than the first. This is improvement, and this is better than the run that I contemplated doing were it not for the sub-freezing temperatures and snow coming down.
