am--4 Dixie Dr. w/ 4x :60 pickups (sub-8ish--I'm pretty out of shape) and 4x :10 pickups at the end. Felt better today and decided that if I'm not in the trails I'm going to throw in some pace changes.

pm--5.25 Tready miles in the low zone w/ 10-minute row after. That took it out of me. Exercise feels good. I need to get into a positive sweat habit again.
 

I also finished Fleshmarket Alley, a John Rebus mystery, by Ian Rankin and Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror by John Ashberry.

an--6.5 Anasazi on a nice morning. I'm a little beat from yesterday but want to find that resilience that comes from consistent running. I also finished Going Postal, my 1st Terry Pratchett.

am--6.5 Anasazi before seeing Elvis Costello and the Imposters. He's one of my favorite songwriters. The 1st half of the show was lackluster but the 2nd half ripped.

am--6.5 Anasazi in the smoky morning. Felt decent. I'm starting look at measuring exercise by time again, aiming for 5+ hours a week. I also finished the Dupin stories by Poe. I'm on a detective fiction kick.
