Simple, right?

 Sun, 7/26/26-

After a three-week hiatus from the track, my intention was to do 4x200 in 35 and 4x150 in 24. Simple, right? The warmup and first two 200s felt fine. The third 200 did not. I stopped after that, feeling something in my hamstring. Sadly, I called it quits.

left hamstring acting up

Sun, 7/21/26-

Met up with Bruce, John, Harris, and Ursula at Audubon.

The workout was a fast 250m, 90 sec rest, then a fast 150m. The idea was to have the combined times fall below 60 sec. John hit the 250m in 35.4, and Bruce and I came in at 35.9. John then hit the 150 in 22-mid, while Bruce hit 23-low and I hit 23-mid, on account of slowing up due to my left hamstring acting up. The crew then went on to do 2x150 pick-ups. I nixed myself from these in favor of a couple of light strides down the homestretch.

Sat, 7/20/26-

Went to the Y. 8:55 on treadmill, stretched/lifted/did knee-strengthening exercises, 8:25 on treadmill, etc.

a dip in the pool afterwards

6/19/26-On this breezy morning, I made my way to Natirar and did 3M in 25:40 (~9:15, ~8:30, ~7:55). I started off quite modestly on purpose, a kind of stroll in the park. The rest of this easy run just fell into place. I took a dip in the pool afterwards.

Mission accomplished.

Thurs, 6/18/25-

Went to the track. 3x200 with 3:00 rest, followed by 3x150 with 2:30 rest. Goal pace: 32 and 22, respectively. Mission accomplished.
