Cruise Ks + 100 M Sprints, and The Story of How I Got Over My Pukey Feeling

When I came home, the sky was clear and the moon was beautiful,
so I decided to hit the road to get my heart pumping.
I did cruise Ks five sets at my full marathon pace of 5:20/K,
and did five 100 M sprints as a closure.
Today's result is as follows:

Warm Up:  6:11 (slow jog)
1st K: 5: 10
Rest: 30 seconds
2nd K: 5:06
Rest: 30 seconds
3rd K: 5:21
Rest: 30 seconds
4th K: 5:14
Rest 30 seconds
5th K: 5:12

Rest: 2:13

1st 100 M: 16.36
Rest: 1 minute
2nd 100 M: 16.26
Rest: 1 minute
3rd 100 M: 16.10
Rest: 1 minute
4th 100 M:16.57
Rest: 1 minute
5th 100 M: 17.29

I felt pukey after the 3rd sprint,
but I figured that one last push would not make me really puke,
and decided to go for one more.
When the fourth set was over, I really felt like my heart would come up to the throat,
and make me suffocated,
but said to myself another set would make a full set of five,
and that I would rather die in the sea of my own puke than quit,
and went for one more set.
When it was over, though the time was significantly worse than the previous four,
I felt great and had completely forgotten about the extreme discomfort 
that I had felt only half a minute before.
