MAN! good to have this one under the belt. Overall felt really good, had some side/back pain for most of the workout. Could've been from lifting furniture yesterday. Could have been more prepared with liquids, was warmer than I thought. But great workout!!

Thanks guys. Trying to mix things up hopefully it will benefit for a spring Marathon.
