Notes
73 deg /48% H / 52 dew pt
Easy Run
Got needled yesterday & hamstring felt a tone better today. Fast walked & did drills prior. Humidity dropped significantly & amazing what 52 deg dew pt feels like after tropical conditions yesterday. Started out fr Whole Foods & took left on Sharon & right on Rutherford (mile 1 - felt so much stronger, no pain in hamstring - at about 3/4 mi began to feel like I was starting to "slow down"), looped on Sulkirk left on Sharon & then did a loop around church & to Fairview (mile 2 - felt no pain in hamstring & no "fatigue" as in prior week but this was into a stiff headwind), continued on Sharon & then veered into mall parking lots for some loops (mile 3 - felt good & started wondering what my pace was as I was not sweating profusely as in prior days at this point), ran out of parking lot & down Sharon into Earth Fare (mile 4 - this felt exactly the same as mile 3 & was mostly flat although into a 10mph headwind but not sure why pace lagged so badly). Ran loops in Earth Fare shopping lot (mile 5 - felt good but this felt like the prior mile & it was much faster), then head back on Sharon, did a loop by Cowfish & then veered back into mall parking lot & stopped (mile 6.1 - started to lose rhythm at abt ~5.5 mi & felt like I was slowing -- and I was!). Did 2 x drills & then ran back to Whole Foods to finish. I feel like I have no strength in my legs which is why I'm so slow & can't do anything to increase it since it negatively impacts my right hamstring.
