Z4. Average/max heart rate = 150/165

Pushing harder than I normally would, but also trying to add a little bit for the upcoming PT test. I also missed a run yesterday that I couldn't really afford to skip. I'm not even trying to max the run; not a chance. I do want to pass, and I've gotten noticeably slower in the last year between back pain, substantially increased muscle mass, and just basic aging.

The difference in shoes between the NB880V8 and ASICS Gel-Cumulus 20s is really staggering when I look at it. I think had I run in the NBs, it would've been a very different run as the Cumulus is much more responsive, whereas the 880 has a much more cushioned ride.
