Ran 12 x 110 yard all out sprints, barefoot, at the local hs football field. My hamstrings did not recover until Wednesday.

I planned to do a track workout, but decided it would be more fun to run 1000m hard loops at Busey Woods. My left hamstring was tender from Monday's sprint workout, but after a 2 mile warm up it felt pretty good, so I went ahead and ran 7 x 1000m loops. I had forgotten how fun it is to run fast in the woods, as swift as the deer and the birds -such a liberating thing to do.

Thinking about this woods style of running, it is my strength and joy - hurdling logs, taking careful, yet carefree steps upon rutted dirt paths, slicing through narrow corridors of tall weeds, dodging trees - I feel more an athlete and pure animal than runner. Running on roads is for a different breed, of which I do not belong.

More woods loops, same thing as Wednesday, 7 x 1000m hard running on dirt paths, circling round and round, up and down, dodging and skipping through all kinds of soft and thorny stuff. What great fun -running fast, legs strong, feet light and quick.
