I had hoped to run a little longer and in the morning. But the swimming pool at Reily was acting up again and I spent my morning trouble shooting with an electrician. I did get in the weight room while I waited for the electrician to show up.

The run was an attempt to avoid missing a day. So I ran easy, in the dark, in the rain. It was quite pleasant. I did have a tiny hamstring snag when I bent over to stretch during a water break and immediately after the run. Overall I felt pretty good.

Weight room: back

I ran at what I perceived the effort to be warm up pace the entire run. I felt very relaxed. I had music in my ears. The weather was very nice. No tweaks at all.

I ran 8X3's&3's with the ons at ~ 6:20 pace. I felt smooth and relaxed. I made the intervals roughly easy run pace. This was the first time I tested my hamstring and it felt good — not tweaking at all.

I felt really good and relaxed. I thought I was going slower than I actually was. It's not that I felt slower. I just felt like the effort was easier than 7:20. I didn't push at all. My hamstring felt a little tight. But I didn't get that pulling feeling at all. This was a good run for me, especially since I did a fairly vigorous leg workout in the weight room around mid-day.

Weight room: legs
70 minutes

I had a meeting to attend at 6 PM so I ran the workout alone. It was a bitch to run out there on the track by myself. But I hit the paces pretty consistently. I ran 6 min. pace for the entire workout save for the up and down.
