Short intervals 7 x 200 with 100m walk between. Slow start then worked the cadence up into the 90's and time down to the low 50's. Thought maybe some more, but didn't want to aggravate the hamstring.

Boy, a long time since I did this. Four laps of the pool, 3 breast stroke and 1 crawl. The crawl was a mistake my rotator cuff let me know about. After 15 min running in therapy pool.

Note
Two VTrans crews came by today and apparently spent time inspecting the beaver dams. Don't know if they plan demolition, but will check it out tomorrow.
Saw sports med doc today re hamstring. Thinks I ought to see ortho about possible surgery. Meanwhile more PT and moderate (?!) exercise. Also said even with full recovery my days in professional sports are probably gone.
Interesting observation on hip socket that's also shown in the xray/MRI -- male half of joint has bone buildup on stem that limits outward flex. Explains stiffness in leg joint and why I have never done anything close to a split.

Threshold work on rolling hills of Cummings. Aimed for 1-2 min at slightly under threshold HR, around 150. Did entire workout by HR. Got max HR in 150-155 range on about half the intervals. Picked up the pace as things proceeded, but see the HR was actually lower for those. Looks like I have the capacity to push harder. Also need to jack up the cadence.
