Notes
Running is a struggle right now. My left leg is all messed up. The pain in the hip/gluts goes away after 2 miles, but then it intensifies in the hamstring. I picked up the pace to 6:30 for about 30 seconds as a test and that caused the hamstring to seize up even more. At that point I backed off just to finish the run. It feels like running is alien to my body. I did 7:53 pace today and I felt that I couldn't go much faster. I'm beginning to wonder if this problem isn't really related to the spill I took last week and it's just the old hamstring/glut issues resurfacing? I a bit frustrated in some things in my life right now. Emotionally I am ready to take it out on the New Bedford course if I'm physically able to run. I'll do strides tomorrow and see how that goes. Right now I feel it's about 50/50 if I'll race. I have to measure the risk involved because the big picture is the marathon.
