I slept in this morning, knowing I was going for a run longer than 5 tonight. True to form. I felt so-so until mile 3.5 or so, at which point I started concentrating much harder on form and foot strike, looking for max efficiency. I felt pretty good the last 3 miles, so I guess it worked out. Steady negative splits all the way into the end. Arright!
I'll probably pay for this run tomorrow, but I needed to get it in today.
The research battles of the dissertation war continue.

I was feeling the lactic acid from the last two days of lifting, in a really unpleasant way.
This run helped a lot in working some of it off - which I guess is preferable to grunting in discomfort every time I got up or sat down, which was the case today.
As much as I didn't really feel like running, I sure felt a hell of a lot better when I got done. It's never really a bad sign to run mostly negative splits. The one that wasn't was because of a substantial uphill that felt curiously therapeutic when I got done with it.

I deliberately went what I felt was just under anaerobic threshold pace, and felt okay until the usual mile 3 transition point, after which I felt pretty good.
Nothing ambitious, but I don't think I'll get a run in tomorrow, so I needed a long one today that didn't crush me flat. The fact that I hit the magic 666 point was only icing on the cake.
Looking at splits, I was gratified to run generally negative splits.

Under a juniper-tree the bones sang, scattered and shining
We are glad to be scattered, we did little good to each other,
Under a tree in the cool of day, with the blessing of sand,
Forgetting themselves and each other, united
In the quiet of the desert. This is the land which ye
Shall divide by lot. And neither division nor unity
Matters. This is the land. We have our inheritance.
I was pretty beat, but I chumped sleep last night. First 3.5 miles went rough. Last mile was pretty good, so a much longer warmup than usual. I felt fine by the end, too bad it took 3.5 miles to get there.

My legs were tired - I knew that. I needed to run - I knew that.
I am still trying to reconcile why my heart is working a lot harder than I feel - because at the paces I was running on level ground today, I was barely breathing hard.
The ATB was a result of trying to offset the theme song to You Can't Do That On Television, one of the most enduring TV memories of my childhood, back when children's TV didn't suck monkey balls. Not surprisingly, it wasn't an American show.
When you have episodes titled "Medicine," "Parties," "Marketing," or "Romance," it will take shit on that I will never see on, say, the Disney Channel. The show was funny, and well written. Looking at the comments, I guess I wasn't the only one who crushed on Moose from that show. I realized, only after the fact, that my first girlfriend bore more than a passing resemblance to Christine McGlade.

My legs were tired - I knew that. I needed to run - I knew that.
I am still trying to reconcile why my heart is working a lot harder than I feel - because at the paces I was running on level ground today, I was barely breathing hard.
The ATB was a result of trying to offset the theme song to You Can't Do That On Television, one of the most enduring TV memories of my childhood, back when children's TV didn't suck monkey balls. Not surprisingly, it wasn't an American show.
When you have episodes titled "Medicine," "Parties," "Marketing," or "Romance," it will take shit on that I will never see on, say, the Disney Channel. The show was funny, and well written. Looking at the comments, I guess I wasn't the only one who crushed on Moose from that show. I realized, only after the fact, that my first girlfriend bore more than a passing resemblance to Christine McGlade.

The weather was very good - almost good enough where I would've turned back and jettisoned a layer of snivel gear.
Taking yesterday off helped, but I think sleeping 8 hours each the last two days helped a lot more.
Almost all positive splits, but the start was much, much faster than it should've been for a run of this length. Encouraging, yes, disciplined, no.

I wasn't sure what effort I would put in, but after running the first few feet, I decided to go for an easy recovery run. Not quite wogging, but not really running in the traditional sense.
Tomorrow, after all the goddamn black ice is gone (and the thin veneer of death that condensed on this morning), maybe I'll go further than 4.6.

Dead legs are back for real. That workout on Monday was probably the precipitating factor. Either that or the double shot of Jeremiah Weed that represented my sole celebration for a holiday I normally loathe. That was surprisingly little in the way of catharsis.
At least most of the black ice is gone since it went up to 44F yesterday.

No, you don't get a damn trophy...
...when you screw the pooch in my chosen profession. It's a shame that you can't have a motto that implies that you get it right the first time or else. god help us if I ever land in a unit that enforces orthodoxy in such a Soviet manner.
If you fuck the dog, people will die. Sounds pretty goddamn straightforward to me.
Read it at the Blog of the U.S. Naval Institute. I wish, I really wish, that the Army had a similar forum-- and I remember the USNI publishing stuff that was even more provocative in years past. If we don't have the intellectual honesty to man up, we deserve what we get.

Predictably after yesterday's workout, my legs were beat. Add to that the patches of black ice all over the roads this morning and I knew I was going to run off relative effort only and not time.
I never thought I would run to "Hallelujah" as an iThink, but I guess it's preferable to Ministry's "Flashback." This day will end like most others.

Cut slingload. Now.
I am not always a believer in the institution, but life is too short to be married to someone who is this self-absorbed.
I don't always agree with everything that's on CDR Salamander's blog, but I do on this one. There's a reason why I RSS his blog near the top of my aggregator.
If I turned the clock back 10 or 15 years, there are a hell of a lot of things I'd do differently. Based on that hindsight, my advice to this lieutenant is in the title. Cut fucking slingload. NOW.
