Crosstrainer 30:00 [2]
shoes: Asics Stratus
Find it very hard to really work on this machine... or rather, its fine for getting level 2 in, but very difficult to do intervals.
Rowing 10:00 [2]
Did one power 20 at around 1:50, and a 500 at around 1:58. Toughish! Clearly not in rowing shape, which is understandable, actually.

Physio Visit
So, apparently have a micro-torn medial hamstring. Argh!!! Not cool. When asked, physio thought it was a really, really bad idea to try racing this Saturday. I probably need to ease into real running (ie. striding out, which is the problem motion) starting mid-next week, then gradually increase, not race 6k all out on Saturday.
Unfortunately, I don't have tons of choice. The cross-country women don't have a strong 4th scorer for blues varsity, and I would probably be able to be there, unless I'm remarkable off my usual fitness (which I'd admit, seems a possibility after all these silly injuries!). Playing with ideas in my mind. May try racing and then just quick if I feel the pain, because then I've done everything I can to try to make blues, and don't think it would make things much worse....
What to do!?!?! And how in the world did the november classic cause this, when I was fine doing the OMM?!?!
