One more day taking it easy on the back/glutes.  Two and a half warm up at 7:30 pace, then just a couple 300s at 54 and 4 barefoot striders plus two laps around the infield.  Feel like I can ramp things right back up this week, but not sure I will be ready to race the 200/400 and/or 800 in a few weeks.

From trailhead, 1.5 miles up to the north loop - did the 0.8mi loop at just under 7 min/mi.  Continued a bit over a mile on around the ravine trail to the new trail.  Gradually picked up the pace on the 1.3 mi new trail, finishing it in 10:20 - about a minute slower than my best effort on that section.  Easy .5 cool down back to trailhead to finish up the 4.7 miles - good run.

Lovely evening track workout today.  Low humidity, low 70s, light breeze.  Did 2.5 mile warmup steadily dropping pace from 8:30 to 7:00, then stretching and flexibility before 4X200 (34, 33, 31, 29) and 4X100 barefoot striders.  Finished up with two laps of infield.  Wanted to run fast and see how sore my lower abs are tomorrow - "sportsman's hernia" really bugging me.  Takes almost the entire first mile now before the stiffness/soreness eases up, but then I can finish a workout like tonight with no pain during the workout.  Based on my past experience, I may be pretty sore tomorrow - grrrrrr.

Easy 8-8:30 pace run on the trails.  Lower abs sore for first half mile or so and then only on the steep uphill sections.  Summer track meets start two weeks from this evening - we'll see how long I can just work through this - grrrrrr.

Total of 4 and a half shows on the Garmin, but a lot of that was walking around between working block starts.  Did 2.5 warmup on the trails then about 8X50-60ish meter block starts and one 88-90% effort 200 - Garmin said 28 seconds, I'll call it 27.83  :)  Finished up with two barefoot laps on the infield.
