4/5/2015 to 4/11/2015

Doing long runs on Long Island is always a bit of a challenge, and holy smokes getting this long run in was killer.  Wind gusts easily hit 30+ MPH, and I would guess even more out on State Park.  As has been the case lately, I didn't really have a plan in mind.  As I hit the road I was immediately feeling really lethargic and not motivated at all...but I ended up just sucking it up and getting started after a 4m warm up and coming up with a 2/1/2/1/2/1/2 alternating workout where the 2m segments were at 95% mp, and the 1m was at 85%-90% mp. It ended up being much harder thanks to the wind, but whatever. I finished it.

Heeere eeez theeez:
