| AM - 4 x 1 mile on the levee w/ 1:00 rest. Warm/humid, typical summer weather, though temps and dew point have dropped a couple of degrees this week. I had no expectations for this since it's the first threshold workout of this cycle. I had a ~10 mph breeze out of the east that I ran into for rep #2. I didn't check splits and after rep #1, so everything from there was by feel. The wind demolished me. I ran the rest with the wind.

I'm pretty thrilled that 5:20 was the pace that I gravitated towards. If it's real and not wind-induced, then this is a great place to be at this point in the cycle. 20 weeks to Houston.
PM - 6 easy, no watch. 7:15-7:20 estimated avg.

| 12 recovery in 8:07 avg. Didn't plan to run so slow, but I never warmed into this one. Felt like a struggle the whole way.

| AM - 10 easy, 7:44 avg. I had hill sprints on the schedule but scrapped it due to hamstring concerns. I called it "tightness" and "signs of sciatica" last Friday, but its persistence makes me think I have a minor pull. It's also become more localized to mid-hammy and not so much in the lower hip like I was feeling before. No idea how I might have strained it last week since all my running was slow, and I took Thursday off before I felt it on my Friday run. I want to push through, but at this point in training it seems prudent to take caution.
Also felt the lower right leg when I woke up. No pain during my run. Just seems like all the aches and pains are stacking up.
PM - 6 easy, I think the avg was around 7:40.

| 13 easy. Felt a little better this morning. No pain in lower right leg. Some twinges in left hammy/hip. I worked on it last night with the massage ball and stick. Also have been wearing a hammy wrap through the day.

| 13 in 7:21 avg. Hammy felt great to start, twingy in the middle miles, and great in the final miles. Progress. Pulling the plug on the 5k tomorrow, however. I think I need another week of rehab.
