The End

Today marked the end of all the end of the hard workouts for the year. I will be simply maintaining from here on out. I decided to make today a tough one since it was going to be the final hard effort. The problem with making today really tough was that I faced the possibility of hurting my confidence if the workout didnt go well.
Fortunately the workout went really well. I ended up doing 3 miles in 14:50 with close to 6 minutes rest because it took me longer than expected to get my spikes on. I followed that up with 2 miles in 9:56 and another mile in 4:39 after 5 mintues rest.
The times werent what I expected, but you can tell from the picture(which you can click and make larger) that it was windy today. I would say you could take at least a second off of each lap to equate for the wind and that would put me right at goal 10k race pace. I am also happy with how the workout went because the effort was almost perfect. I would say every interval felt about the way it should have and by the final one my legs were straight smashed.
I am also in a good mood because my body is in a nice zone right now where everyday feels good. I was lacking that feeling all year and its nice to get it right at the end of the year. From here on out I am just going to be doing controlled workouts and getting pumped to attempt a PR on Nov 11.
