Event: SLOC - Lafayette Park Evening-O
 

lafayette park sprint. 2 halves w/ map exhange. 2nd half, wheels fell off the bus, missed a control, couple of big errors. but very happy with the first half, ran fast AND read the map while running, good nav, and thats what i want to come away with.

need to get back on the yoga and drills, cant help but think that slacking off on them led to hamstring problem

3 x '800' (short) st. marcus hill repeat on grass with 2:15-3:15 jog/rest
3:27,3:02, 3:11

then 12 min jog rest with some stretch and yoga

then another set
3:17, 3:10, 3:13

garden, pantry, bank, license bureau

to and from metrolink

warmup at track, hamstring felt dicey, so decided not to run the 800 in the track series

to neighbor friends to watch thought provoking movie: toy story 2

nursing home and docs

to 'perennial' a community organization 'transforming discarded goods into objects of worth' with my store-bought bike trailer, for a bike trailer building class. Refreshing to think about how to build one from the ground up, and got some ideas for customizing my existing one.

to flat gravel track by park and drainage channel. 1 mile repeats with jog/run/stretch/tie shoes back to start. 6:30, 6:30....pushing a little, made it to 6:00 on the third one, 100 meters from the finish, when the hamstring pinged and said stop, so i did, and jog/walked home.

Its definitely stiff and sore but not major. A lot of my pulls seem to go only so far and then stabilize with some nurturing - hopefully this is in that category also.

On the plus side, I really enjoyed this workout and i'd like to do it again a couple of times the next 2 weeks and see if i can get the repeats down to 6:00 - 6:15

C • mile repeats 7
