You know, some people just never learn. Against my better judgment, I went out and ran part of the workout with the Black Sheep this morning. I know I have been complaining about hamstring pain and "speed work" cannot really help that, but I convinced myself that I would benefit from some "quality" running--even just a little. And I did do a pretty good job of keeping the total amount of running in check. I did a 3/4 mile warmup and then 10 x 400m ranging between 77 and 87 seconds each with 100m jog recoveries. While the rest of the group was doing another 4 x 800, I decided that was enough quality for the day for me and I ran another three laps to cool down. My leg was actually feeling just fine until a few twinges in the last couple of 400s.
I went up to the pool at Steiner after the workout and swam a mile. I'm no thing of beauty in the water, but I felt stronger today than I usually do.
