I spoke to Jeff yesterday to check in and let him know how I was feeling. He didn't want to give me a workout for today until he had a chance to assess where I was. This is probably the last really tough workout until Ironman Buffalo Springs. It was a beast today. Didn't seem too bad from outside looking in but it was hard. The plan was for 2 warm up miles, 1 mile at 7:40-7:50 pace, 2 minutes at 7:15-7:20 pace, 1 mile at 8:30 pace, 2 minutes at 7:15-7:20 pace, and 2 cool down miles. When I got into the heart of this it was really tough. My first fast mile was on a slow uphill climb on Parkway. I had to stop for just a second before hitting the fast 2 minute interval. After that, I had to stop again for a second before starting the 8:30 mile. My legs were burning from the speed. I took a 6 mile route I use and had to add on a mile in the park to get the full workout in. I was tapped out. I need a good nights sleep tonight. I sent Jeff an email and thanked him for kicking my ass today. He says it's all downhill from here to Buffalo Springs. I saw my neighbor Justin last night when I got home and may ride with him on Saturday morning at 5:30am. That will work for me and I can get done early. Can't wait to get some sleep.
