I wasn't looking to do much beyond an easy aerobic run. This ended up being a little more than just easy, but that's still okay. The objective was to expend lard, when I realized that I was noticeably fatter in recent photos than ones I took last year.
This fundamentally changes my training focus until I get that lard burned off. For that I think I'm going to need a few months. Then I need to concentrate on speed again.

I never thought I'd say it, but damn, I'm glad to be back at Fort Leavenworth.
Being back in NC was wacky. Going back to Fayetteville, as we did for an afternoon was particularly disconcerting. I did, however get a haircut from my old barber, who does a superlative high-and-tight. If there's one thing I absolutely can't get here at Fort Leavenworth, it's a high-and-tight where someone actually shaves off the side and back of my head.
That might account for some of the relative speed this morning for a Z3-level run. I guess I should aspire to something faster, but I'm pretty happy with that for my relative level of effort.
I'm not too crazy about my incipient arthritis in my right ankle, though. Nothing that 1000mg of naproxen sodium a day can't fix...so long, stomach lining.

Once again, the inconsistency of GPS splits makes me unwilling to vet this for exact distance, but I spent a lot of time running parts of the American Tobacco Trail, an oddly named entity that's a nice rails-to-trails project in Wake County. It should extend to Chatham County as well.
It was cold but warmed up fast. That's the rough part about trying to estimate amount of snivel gear to really wear. I went one layer down as I rolled up my sweatshirt and started running t-shirt only on the return leg of the trail run.

First time running in Cary in a long while. I'm inherently distrustful of the GPS tracks I'm getting off the Timex watch I have, and today was no exception.
I don't buy the prospect of running 8:06/mi for what I ran today...but I don't have the imagery and plot to vet the course I ran. I thought it was more important that I actually ran over an hour today, given how much I ended up eating for dinner.

I was grinding away at a fast start for no good reason this morning. The Silverstein album is pretty good, actually. I have to deliberately veer off some of the songs I know better and in doing so, actually found a pretty decent mantra in "Already Dead."
This morning started far too fast. The pace settled once I was finished with my first lap (the second 0.85mi split), but there is a definite latency period from when I expend my fast-twitch stores and before the slow-twitch muscles really settle for legitimate return on effort. That crossover point happens anywhere around 25-35 minutes, but usually before 30 minutes.
That's probably as good as any for why 10 miles has traditionally been my strongest event; I can reel in other competitors as I continue to accelerate while others die at around the 7-8 mile point. The crossover point hits somewhere around the 5 mile mark. That doesn't work for me on the 10km (not enough time) and definitely not on 5km or 8km (too short) distances.

This is supposedly military in its etymology, but I must have missed this acronym, and I consider myself more than a passing observer of military culture. I think it's probably too clumsy for casual use, though.
"You've Got To Be Fucking Shitting Me" doesn't really translate that well into an acronym.
Or, even more bluntly, don't substitute an unwieldy acronym when the expression "fuck that shit" is just as evocatively useful.

I had to cut this a mile short for time constraints.
I knew the GPS was off! I was being cheated .05-.06 per mile and that's why I felt abnormally fast. I made it a point to run in lane 1 rather than lane 8 as I usually do...just to vet the GPS. I'm glad I did.
This makes much more sense.
It was a mite nippy, especially on the ears this morning. I might actually have to contemplate headgear for the first few miles of a run - of course, I wouldn't have needed it after mile 2 or so.

I was thinking about running 9 this morning, but decided that after a week of running almost nothing that 9 on the second day back might not be such a good idea. I was tired in any event. I had a lot harder time getting up hills than I normally do in these conditions, so there is some implied rebuilding to do here.
The assault of emo this morning is attributable to my buying Silverstein's Discovering the Waterfront last night. I'm not sure if emo is a guiltier pleasure than, say, Journey or Eddie Money. At least emo is a tad more predictable. An old roommate of mine's reaction sums it up: "you, Mr. Alternative Music, are listening to Eddie fucking Money?!"

Cliffed from Wikipedia:
Speakers for the Dead are the wandering representatives of a Humanist movement (not a religion, though they are treated with the respect accorded a priest or cleric); they research the dead person's life and give a speech that attempts to speak for them, describing the person's life as he or she tried to live it.
Speakers for the Dead seem to have arisen as a movement in response to Ender's 'Speaking' the life of the Hive Queen (and the life of Hegemon Peter Wiggin) in widely-read books that slowly subvert human hatred of the 'buggers' into sorrow over a Xenocide, the complete extinction of an alien race.
I had occasion to attend a memorial service for an officer killed in Iraq earlier this week. It was respectful, and in many senses a hagiography (although I'm trying to avoid some the implied negative connotations of that word).
It made me think a lot about what I want out of a memorial service, inasmuch as I'm a diehard atheist. But I would like a Speaker, for that one. I don't want a hagiography. I want truthful intent.

Today was going to be a 6.8mile, but I decided to cut one lap. I just didn't really feel up to it and I also realized I went out with far too much snivel gear. Just because it's below freezing doesn't mean I wear as much as I did. Won't make that mistake again.
I was not fully loosened up until the last half mile. On the other hand, this is a good break from the total lack of running I did this week. Next week I have to be more disciplined about getting out the fucking door.

First time on the Concept in about a month. It was much harder to keep up what I considered normal speed; my nominal average is around 2:10, but was probably a little closer to 2:11-2:12 had I not turned on the jets in the last 1000m.
I have this to thank for my late breaking Metallica mantra. "Enter Sandman" isn't really a good song for spinning, though.

First time I've run on a dreadmill since, well, Iraq. The weather itself is a good reason for why I didn't run outside...besides the fact that there aren't any safe places to run around the hotel at which we were staying.
I was planning on going 6. Then I was planning on going 5. Then I settled for a faster 4. I fucking hate dreadmills.
Splits
33:48 for 4.0mi on the dreadmill. After missing the first few splits, I gave up on trying to record anything consistent, but I started at 8:42 and finished at 8:03. Once I was warmed up there actually wasn't a whole lot of drastic increase in relative level of effort. I guess that speaks to a legitimate level of distance base.

Smell the estrogen
I was witness tonight, in Omaha's Qwest Center, to The Cheetah Girls in concert with Vanessa Hudgens and some other girl singer whose name has already been dumped from my memory.
There were men there who I'm sure there were there at their daughters' behest. I was just surrounded by scores of girls, all in the ages of, well, under 10. One woman I spoke to said her husband wouldn't come. Another took their youngest and then went to the casino. They don't have a hair on their ass.
We bought two t-shirts. Cheetah Girls t-shirts. To the tune of $30 a piece. $60 for a pair of shirts?! Ah, rochambeau for pre-teenybop swag...
Thank god for combat earplugs. Those seriously saved my bacon. After a decade of heavy weapons fire and jumping out of planes, my hearing is trashed anyway, but I'm trying to save what little I have left.
The redeeming feature of it was seeing some new Hilary Duff video. Guilty pleasure, but Hilary Duff is pretty hot, actually. Curiously appropriate, since the song is called "Play With Fire."

I am distrustful of my Timex GPS as I get wildly different readings of speed at the same level of effort. I suspect there may be some hidden masking of signals, but I might want to vet the length with my Garmin GPS 12XL at sometime.
If the mile splits are accurate, I shouldn't get too bent out of shape for a recovery run, but the thought of running 8:36 pace on a relatively easy pace doesn't make sense for me at this point in my life.

Nothing ambitious today, just a run to burn fat. This ended up being
faster than expected as I settled in and ran mostly negative splits.
The extremely slow 0.28 leg is attributable to having to go over the
links between two railroad boxcars. Otherwise, the run back was
representative of steady acceleration, which is a reasonably good trend.
I should've worn sunglasses today. It was bright. I'm not used to
running in daylight.
Today is Veteran's Day. I prefer the Commonwealth's usage of
Remembrance Day, myself. Two treatments I found come from the Great White North and Down Under.
Ironically, I wasn't able to find an official British site on the
internet on Remembrance Day.

Nothing fancy. My running partner has inconsistent speed, but I was also tired from yesterday's time trial. I deliberately went easy.
For an explanation of today's iThink, read this description.
Splits: 36:24 in 9:06 average.
I need to remap the route, and I don't have time right now...and really, for a recovery wogging run, it's not that important.

I needed to do a quick one, but I didn't feel like running the Teardrop of Suck (which includes uphills in excess of 40 degrees). Thus, six mile time trial on the track!
I was pleasantly surprised at split times - but wonder if there are GPS inaccuracies at work that might be contributing to a false sense of speed as well.
With the amount of fog today, I guess an English band is appropriate - although whenever I think of heavy fog, the Cure's "A Forest" is invariably the first song to come to mind.
