8 miles
Audubon Park
easy run
I've been slacking on updating my log. I've been running fairly regularly, nothing hard because of my hamstring. I've gone back to Saturday the 7th because I do remember exactly what I ran. Any further back in time and I'd be winging it. So...
The last week or so my hamstring has been feeling a lot better. If I had to assign a number to where I am in my injury recovery, I'd have to say that I'm about 90% - 95%. I still get a minor little tug at times if I step just the right way. But I'm not hesitant to run on it like I normally would. I have no hesitation with small, incremental accelerations. I haven't pushed it really hard yet. Right now I'm just trying to maintain a fair degree of fitness. I know I'm going to go through some shitty tasting speed work in my mear future, if I want to run fast (for me) again. And I'm sure I'll have to suffer some for Azalea Trail and, probably to a lesser extent, Crescent City Classic. My realistic goals right now are going to need to be summer events — Tom Sawyer (the 2 mile race, not the right skippy fucking ape), and the Free For All's in City Park, and possibly Greek Fest. I think that by early to mid summer I'll be ready to pick up where I left off last year, so long as my hamstring continues to improve and I actually hit the 100% mark
