Good warm-up. Stomach didn't feel too well on the cool-down. I wasn't planning on racing Sundodger after my hips started bugging me again a few weeks ago, but I decided a few days ago to go ahead and do it since I completed the Fenwick workout on Monday without any major problems. Splits = 5:20, 5:18, 5:34, 5:42. I hit the same exact first 2 splits here last year, but this time I felt winded as a result and let up.

Legs felt pretty good. No aches or pain anywhere!

Ultra slow run around the beach and xc course. Entire hip/groin area feels achy and stiff.

Ran with the Highline boys and with Luke during the fartlek portion. After 25min, we did 8 x 25-60sec surges at a fast pace with about 2-3 minutes between each. I felt surprisingly good on the warm-up and during the surges. On the 7th one, my left adductor groin area felt a slight twing, but I was able to run just fine the rest of the way.

Adductor and ischium area are achy, mainly from yesterday's workout. Kept it easy for about 25min and then gradually picked up the pace but never ran quicker than 6:45 pace.

Ran to West Fenwick Park from TJ for the warm-up (18:03, 2.22mi). Workout = 16x400m (4 flat, 4 hills, 4 flat, 4 hills). Splits = 78, 78, 75, 75, 88, 88, 86, 84, 78, 74, 74, 73, 94, 87, 85, 84. Every time I started out, my legs felt stupid; as if I was going to pull a muscle. So I started out in the back on each interval and gradually worked my way up. On the way back to TJ, my legs didn't work and I could have walked back faster if they weren't seized up (22:40).
