My head felt like it was going explode actually, and I was sweating hard & losing leg strength toward the end, unlike this morning. I've recovered quickly though. Still more of a baseline thing, I think.

Actually, this is highlights one of the reasons I've been toying with getting a trainer once in a while. I'm not sure I can push myself hard enough. I think I might do better with someone yelling out "faster, faster".
