Speed work Tuesday. Working at home so Kim and I waited until just before lunch to let it warm up a bit and melt the ice off the roads. Ran 7 x 1/2 mile repeats with 3 min jog rests. Schedule called for 6 to 8 and it would have been nice to get the 8 but the last 3 got tough and the end of 6 I got all those lovely nausea & GI distress signals that say I better get to a bathroom quick! Even so I'm pretty happy with the workout. Ran the same route as the mile repeats last week that gives us just a touch of downhill and sometimes a tailwind. Some wind today but not as strong as last week. Also a few wet spots on the roads and shoes/socks ended up getting pretty soaked.
