Feeling the leg a bit, but after some good stretches recommended by Erin and some strides, it actually felt a lot better.

Eric got me by one second, but there was another guy who's apparently elligible who got us both by a bit. Still, wishing I had put in a tiny extra effort in the finish chute (which is where he passed me in time). No significant errors, but a couple of 1-2 second hesitations. Also, definitely should have been doing more tempo runs. My leg felt just fine, though, so that's a plus!

Down with Erin.

Sprint Blue - Splits

Just wanted to test out my leg. It's not ready yet. I ran out for a bit. It started hurting. I did a couple stretches. Went a bit further, no improvement, did more stretches and turned around. Admittedly, I haven't been doing the stretches as much as I should, but seeing as I want to race on Friday I'm thinking at least two or three times a day until then.

Tried it out because my roommate was going to run on the treadmill, and after a bit of pain at first I was able to go the whole time and feel more or less normal (aside from the weird running motion). I think I was favoring my right leg a little, though, because after about 20:00 or so it felt slightly more tired than my left. Good exercise, though.

So... I probably should have stopped running after about 12 minutes, because I started getting a pain on the outside of my left knee. Hurt the most when trying to go uphill... so my right leg is pretty tired because I had to get back to my dorm from the waterfront, which the the longest and largest hill for many miles around. Essentially it was 45 minutes of limping around.

Shelburne Farms. Good time, and VERY nice day. Maybe even a little hot like yesterday. Apparently it hit 80 at some point.

Control pick-up. Much slower than earlier.

CORE!
