38 Special...

Ran very easy with Ben M. from my house on the small Draper loop.  Wanted to do a small and easy run for my bday.  3.8 big ones at 8:40AP.  First mile was 9:28.  I wanted to do 11:30 pace. Great day for a Bday.  Feeling younger...

AM:  Scott's house with a big cc team.  Scott, Matt, Reed, Chad, Steve T., Chris P., Ty, Jeff L.  I did a little over 3 miles before the group got there to shakeout my legs.  Very slow and heavy.  I dragged behind the group for the loop we do.  I wanted to take it easy and everyone else looked pretty sharp.  I know what is coming tomorrow so didn't want to do anything dumb.  Very peaceful and fun run as always with these guys.  7:35AP...

Lunch:  Not enough rest the past week.  It finally caught up to me.  Ran 4.5 easy miles at lunch.  Hoping to do a track session tonight 800/1000's.  Still a little tired...

TRACK SESSION

PM:  10.6 @ 7:10AP. Still felt a little fatigued going into this workout but wanted to give a good effort.  Goal was to do 80% Effort at a little faster than HMP.  4up/2down w/3 striders then 2X1000/800/400/200 with 400/200 meter AR.  I felt very good about the solo effort I did on this.  Wanted a comfortable pace and everything was done at a progressive pace including during the intervals.  

Splits: (3:35, 2:51, 85, 39, 3:32, 2:50, 83, 38)  

Good tune up for HCH.  A little residual soreness in my right adductor.  Hopefully nothing to be to worried about.  I will be doing a lot of foam roller, stretching, ice baths and massage until Sat.

AM: Took the morning off. I have some adductor and upper hamstring issues in my right leg.  I am going to be overly cautious today as I have put in a lot of miles the last month and not to worried about one day.  I did a lot of stretching and foam roll the past 24 hours.  Going to do another ice bath too...

Went into to this race with a right leg wounded.  I hoped for the best.  I felt decent in the 2.5 wu but could tell that I was not going to be able to go fast.  

Hit mile 1 around 5:35 and then locked into 6-6:15 pace the rest of the way.  At mile 7 I could really start to feel my quad and it was not good.  I decided to back off to 6:25 pace the rest of the way and just maintained.  Never had an issue with tired legs or feeling gassed just did not want to make my injury worse.  II am extremely happy with so many great performances from so many today.  Just was not my day.  Live and Learn...

2.5 CD with a ton of great guys/gal afterwards.  Very cool group and the journey continues...
