Trail run Tuesday.  We started at the Junipercrest trailhead and went out to the back canyon then up on the ridge and through roller coaster hills on a loop.  A lot of rough and steep trail which made it slow!  Added a mile with Greg at the end om the shoreline trail.  9:56 ave

Hamstring bugged the whole time.  This is frustrating after digging into it, taking 3 days off, and getting a massage.  I will go work on it again.

Right heel was very stiff this morning as well as the hammy issues.  My family hiked up past Scout Fall yesterday on Timp and that might be the issue, because last time we hiked it got stiff.  This has been bugging a while now though.

Had the kids warm up 10 minutes and then do 12 x 1 min fartleks.  I did 10 instead of 12.  Once I got going I was fine, but Ithe hammy was bugging on the way way back.  We went up shaggy passed Butterfield Park and back.  6 miles total.  7:29 ave.

Started at the Reservoir and ran down to Emeline with Greg, Adam, Nick, Emma, and Mikaela.  We went to Butterfield Parkway and then turned around and went back.  Hammy and heel still stiff and bugging today.  Nice easy run though.

Warmed up before the race and felt ok, 1.3 miles.  The first mile was good and I felt good, but mile 2 the hammy started locking up on my and mile 3 which is a fast mile was rough.  I had a hard time the rest of the way and kept slowing down and getting past, sucked!  Last time I ran this race I was 33 min, today 36:35!  Cooled down with Adam after for a mile and the hammy was locked up the whole way, so it hurt.  I might need a couple days off.
