Woke up with my hamstrings sore from some new exercises (lunges) I started yesterday after my run....guess I need to do more so they don't make me sore in the future. 9 mile easy effort run followed by 8x100m Strides w/ 100m rest. 9 mi pace was 7:54/mi, right in the middle of my easy run pace. Striders run in :16, :16, :17, :17, :19, :17, :17, :18. Run was marred by yet another dog encounter (guess my problem isn't solved) and by smoke from logging cleanup fires across the roadway....tried to slow down and only nose-breath for about 1/2 mile to prevent completely polluting my lungs, but since I smell like smoke, I'm sure it did no good. Other than that, good run.
