AM - 18.5 Big Workout #18.  SGM course 8 mile easy then 10 tempo progression from Tinman to MP to LT.  Legs are just gone.  This 103 week has been harder than my 130 week.  Got into the tempo section and could barely make my legs go - quads are just spent.  So I stopped for a minute around 4 miles into it to just reboot.  I finished up my water, stretched, and just tried to focus mentally for a minute and tell myself I could finish it up.  It worked well enough to be able to continue the progression down to 3 MP (5:45's) and 3 LT (5:30) miles to finish up.  On the positive side, I told myself that if I could hit the times when I am this spent (and faster than I have ever finished SGM), I should be headed in the right direction once I get my legs back.  Toe hurt a little, but I survived.  (Stratus Bee 130.2)

Great effort on the tempo progression. Thanks for the ride up.
