That's called restraint!

Fri, 8/2/24-Went for a run at about 9:00. The heat and humidity were oppressive. I cut my run short, doing only 3M (24:35). I had wait too long.

Thur, 8/1/24-I left a school event early to head to Germantown Academy to race the 200m. I wasn't if I'd make it on time or even race, given my hamstring woes. My plan was to warm up and see if my hamstring was up for a sprint. Turns out I made it through the warm up unscathed. Bummer that I was listed as NT-no time. So, I wound up in heat 9, lane 6. Ironically, there were two speedsters in my heat; they both beat me. The girl beat me on account of me choosing to take it easy and not press my luck. I felt my hamstring, but it wasn't bad. I didn't let my 50-something male ego get in the way of doing the right thing. That's called restraint! I wound up hitting 26.84. I have no doubt I could have posted another 25 if I had an inner lane and was healthier. Results: https://lexicontiming.com/meets/39109

Wed, 7/31/24-took off

Tues, 7/30/24-Warmed up and did 2x150 and 2x100 to test out my hamstring.

Mon, 7/29/24-took off

Sun, 7/28/24-8x150 with 2' rest. I believe I did six, respectful of my hammy.
