Tried something a little diferent today and brought two pairs of shoes. The freedoms for the 6 before speed and then zantes for whatever was left. Lower calves were hurting something fierce for the first 6 then when I put the zantes my whiny little calves turned into fully-grown cows ready to kill this speed. That's exactly what I did, 2-mile workout was 4x1000 @ 2-mile pace wasn't really sure about what pace I should actually hit. First one with Dalpal and hit a 3:06 and it hurt a lot more than I expected and got me realy concerned I wouldn't be able to keep it up. Went out a little faster next time and stuck with the Twins and Thom, it still hurt like someone was tenderizing my legs but ended up with a 3:01 for all the remaining sets. Had a euphoric cooldown in the wind and rain then abs and hips.
