Overview :  Damn, these long workouts are tough.  I really appreciate Pete hanging in there to help me out.  I don't think I would have made it as far as I did without him pulling some of the way.  I obviously didn't finish the entire session but I was struggling.  I am still happy with the effort.  I have never done this type of work and I think it will pay off.  Getting ready for VCM I never did anything more than 6 x mile and thought I was tough.  Now I now I am not.  But on the way to getting tough.  I have a lot of miles to chase this week, another track session on Friday, and a long run Saturday.
