Nice workout Dave, getting stronger each week. You kept your rest at a pretty decent pace too.

My stomach felt off all day. I really didn't think I was gonna be able to hold 2:32 so I focused on keeping my rest limited so it was more of a fartlek style workout also it was mentally easier to run fast if I was a touch closer to you guys at the start.
