6 miles in the morning to shake off the cobwebs of the day off Sunday. Dempsey Indoor workout tonight.
7x1000m in the Dempsey Indoor. It was really toasty in there tonight. I looked at the times Tom had down for me and was a bit leery. between 2:55 (4:40 pace) and 2:58, ideally alternating between the two. That seemed really fast. I did have two people to run with though which was nice.
2:55, 2:58, 2:56. 2:59, 3:01, 3:00, 2:57.
About midway through I stopped trying to alternate and just went pretty much as hard as I could. Had to make two trips to the bathroom during the 2:00 rest intervals. That was a bummer but managed to "git 'er done" in time to start the next rep. More of an annoyance than anything else.
I was pretty gassed by the midway point. The last few were all about being mentally tough. This is where having peers to run with helps. No body wants to quit early. So I hung in there and turned in a really solid final rep.
Good workout overall. Still several pounds heavy which doesn't help.17 miles for the day.
