iThink: Starflyer 59, "I Drive A Lot"

I woke up earlier than expected and deliberated a bit on whether I wanted to run or not today. I'm starting to taper (although there's not much to taper from) for a physical fitness test, which I expect pretty close to the lowest score of my career, if only because exercise hasn't really been one of my priorities lately. It is, but only when I think it's becoming a problem.

There's a certain regretful tone to the Starflyer 59 song that stuck in my head today that makes it apropos. That, and for it being as crystal clear this morning (Orion was clearly visible as I looked up from my front doorstep) it wasn't as cold as I would've guessed. The only reason I wore a long-sleeve shirt was the supposed wind, and I wouldn't have needed it, in retrospect.

After a grinder of a start, I think the finish went well, but this is the last hard run I do this week. Today was surprisingly brisk - but hardly fast for the standards I need to meet for the physical fitness test. I guess I should probably do some pushups and situps too while I'm at it.
