1/4 mile - 9.0 (6.40 min/mile)

Okay, did this last week, although did it slightly differently.  Thought I'd give myself a breather at the end before I did the 9.0, and thought it would matter.  Nope, most certainly didn't.  I still was on the verge of puking at the end of that 1/4 mile.  Actually, I think it was slightly worse than last week, I was actually gagging this time.  Might have to keep a bucket in there for me for the future. . . actually, my goal is to at least be able to do this without feeling that way at the end.  I mean, come on!  It's 1 min and 40 seconds.  Surely that shouldn't kill me?!?!  I seriously don't know how some of you people do this pace for an entire marathon.  Anyway, feels great when I'm done, aside from the puking factor.  But, I will prevail!! :)
