AM - 4.7 miles w/ Andrea, then rode my bike up to work - shaving 3:50 off my time from yesterday... amazing what a minor seat post adjustment will do.

The legs were pretty much feeling back to normal by Tuesday, mentally I'm charged up and ready to run for real again... but my right hamstring is still a bit creaky. Not surprising, considering I ran hard on it for another hour once it started to act up in the race (and it was already a bit fatigued by that point). I'll continue to err on the side of caution until I feel its close to 100%. I have already trained through a few minor "tweaks" this year - which I didn't really blog about :-) - so I don't feel like its wise to continue to push my luck.

PM - Biked home.

What? You've been holding out on us?

At those times I felt it was better to just ignore and keep plugging along. The strategy worked out just fine :-)

Yeah I didn't even think about it until now either!

I got all the tape I need right here - http://goo.gl/5HXFo

But in seriousness, yes. And I need to wear my compression shorts too. Not sure why I've been forgetting to do that! :-0

Did you just pull that tape out of your desk drawer?

From Jake K on Thu, Sep 20, 2012 at 09:04:41 from 155.100.226.191

no i had it in my walkman

Smart call Jake! With your improvement curve in biking maybe you should just quit running altogether and switch to cycling. :)

From Jake K on Thu, Sep 20, 2012 at 09:33:27 from 155.100.226.191

I think I've peaked at cycling. The only way I'm going to improve now is if I take a year off. :-)

Your self control is estimable (I thought you'd be banging out 10 milers within a couple of days)or perhaps, it's Andrea whom I should be applauding - no doubt she holds sway on what you do:)

From Jake K on Thu, Sep 20, 2012 at 15:50:48 from 155.100.226.191

Its all me this time - holding in the reigns!

OK, its like 25% me. But that's still good!

Nice job Jake. I'm happy to hear you have a walkman.

Wise decision.
