Near puke

I came as close as I've come in a very long time to throwing up this morning after my workout.

I ran 4.5 easy (32:02, 7:07 ppm) followed by 2 hard. My first hard mile was 6:08, and I was laboring, but I did good and finished with a 6:06 mile for a total time of 44:16 (6:48.6 ppm). Then I nearly puked.

I'm really happy I was able to run faster on the second mile, not only because it's the second mile, but because it finishes on a good sized uphill. Probably would have been close to 6 even on a flat finish.

I've been running in the afternoons but I decided I'd better run in the morning today because it's supposed to get up to 88 degrees here. Glad I did.

This workout is deceptively hard. You wouldn't think it'd be that hard by looking at it. I'm so pleased with myself for thinking it up!

Yeah, you were smart to run this morning. The temp will approach 90, and the humidity will be the same.
Your last 2 mile times were terrific. No wonder you almost lost your lunch.
