Workout: general aerobic 9mi

Rubber reintroduced to road.

My first longish run of the campaign, and it was evident I started out too fast. By the time I'd turned and was heading back around the 6-mile mark, a bit of fatigue was already setting in.

This convinced me of the need for another training tool I'd been considering: a heart rate monitor. After reading up on several models, I will probably get one of the Polar HRMs, to aid with gauging level of effort for upcoming workouts of more specific intensity.
