Legs felt okay–I find this workout to be incredibly hard–definitely gets hard to maintain the pace.
NYTimes has been obsessed recently with articles on how we run: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/08/why-runners-get-injured/
I didn’t find this one to really add anything to the conversation — it was very “on the one hand; on the other hand.”

56:41 (8:10 pace)
Once again the first half was faster than the second half, but legs still felt okay.
Wait I maybe did bad math–I think that’s faster than an 8:10 pace…more like 8:06. Yay for being faster than I thought. ๐

Definitely not easy. Plus I had been sick.
#188 – 55:19. I wish I could describe how bad I was at this run. I almost quit 2.5 miles in because my legs were feeling so weak. I blame the slice of cake I had for a coworkers bday at 5pm. I suppose icing isn’t a nutritious source of carbohydrates.
#188: OY! my Garmin works, my legs don’t! ๐
1:02:00 (run time)…ended up right infront of MPH.yay
1:25:00 – includes red lights and multiple stops for stretching…my left knee was freak’n bothering me after mile 3! not-so-yay! ๐
#188 sub: timed mile (-ish), per Bkay: 7:57
Still getting over my cold and my right calf was bothering me a lot.
Most hated workout ever, for the record. I would rather do 100 burpees.
