Business park for 3 x 10 minutes then back on the track for 4 x 200. Not too bad but it was still hot. I know I ran a negative split for the last 2 minutes as compared to the first 2 but other than that the pacing for the 10s is unknown. The 200s were better this time ... 36, 34, 32, 30.

It was supposed to be 14 today, but my hamstring was giving me trouble so I came back in. Hopefully this is just a dehydration thing!

Got in the workout without feeling any pain from the hamstring. Hopefully it was just dehydration.

Made it though the long run without doing any damage to my hamstring. I thought it was going to tighten up early in the run, but then I just forgot about it and things were fine for the rest.

Ran 6 x 7 min on the creek. I went out at a nice restrained clip to feel out my hamstring. It is definitely not right but it was just a mild tinge of tightness. I'll roll it out again tonight and see how it feels in the morning.

Easy on the creek. No trouble with the hamstring, but I had some stomach issues near the end!!

Just a slow run today. I was supposed to do a longer interval day, but I am doing a 2 mile this weekend and I want to give my hamstring a chance to calm down more ...

Ran a 2 mile community race today on a cross country course ... 11:13 I believe. I was just cruising and should have picked off the next two guys but for some reason just sat back. The next guy was Ozzie so thats no big deal, but the next guy was hurting and we let him get away. The leader was an FSU sub 4:00 type so he was well clean, then the guy we should have gotten, the Ozzie, then me.

6 x 7 min with 2 min recovery. My hamstring felt good today and I was back running reasonably well.

Easy run on the creek. Ozzie looks like his calf might be acting up again so I'm on my own for a while ... oh well!

3 x 11 on the creek. I went out quite a bit too hard and paid the price by the end. Tomorrow we will see how my legs feel.

Sunday long run. I ran into Ozzie around 1:15 so we got a good discussion about the XC results from yesterday.

Had to run early because I'm tied up all afternoon. Its amazing how sluggish you are when you just roll out of bed and hit the road.

7 x 7 min with 2 min recovery. I've got a bit of a cold so I took it out slow. In the end thought I was much faster than I thought and it was a really good workout for where I my fitness is and how I felt.
