I was a little concerned leading up to this workout. My legs haven't been feeling great. I'm feeling the higher miles. Seems ridiculous since I've done some really high stuff but after two months of barely 50, 60's hurts. In terms of this workout I'm incredibly impressed. The 73 is no joke. Harris told me to do the first one comfortable so I did, and I was mad so I sped up. I'm gonna be hitting a mile time trial in a week so this was some good pace work. The best part of this workout: I never went to my knees, even on the 1:03. I never hit that serious oxygen debt that I'm so acquainted with. The second best part: I never strained. I was never really comfortable running fast, but the 1:03 wasn't straining and kicking. It was one split. It was doable and reasonable.
I don't know what it is, but I'm sitting here jamming out to some chill hip-hop and just enjoying life. Things are so great. XC banquet today. Things came off nearly perfectly. That with a cafe rio dinner is perfection. My legs feel great. I'm loving life. I'm living my dream.
