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.

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

the gang

Sun, 6/14/26-

Made my way to Audubon and met up with about 20 members of the team! It had been a while since I saw some of the gang. While one group did 500s and another practiced with implements, I joined the group doing 100s. We ran 100m and walked back 50m, ran another 100 and walked back 50m. We did this until we made our way around the oval. That meant seven 100s. The walk-back rest ranged between 85 seconds (first one) and 2 minutes (7th one). My times fell in the 14-sec range.

same pace

Sat, 6/13/26- Went to the Y with V. Treadmill mile in 8:30, followed by 7 min of stretching and knee work, then another 8:30 mile on treadmill. I then worked the barbell and some machines before heading back to the treadmill for .5M at the same pace.
