I'm back on the horse. 11 days out, the hamstring is better and I ran 20 quarters with the HS kids today. The last 5 were barefoot (we run on grass). Just call me Quenton Cassidy.

We ran 4 sets of 5, 1:30 rest between interval, full 400 jog between sets (about 3 min)

It was an honest course --GPS certified. I never felt worse after about 5 today. I mean that  the 5th one was bad, and then they were all about the same, they didn't get progressively worse. . I didn't begin to feel better, they were just all the same.

Wow is all I have to say on that last set. I'm hoping to be back on the horse in Dec. I shoot out a little so as not to get discouraged in the short term. My main thing right now is seeing what is left of me after Sat. I'm thinking I'll just run with Michelle as long as I can and go from there. Even running with her will still be a great race for me so I hope I can do it.

You've got good speed. How's your training been since?
