Started out strongly, passing 1600m in 5:23-5:24 and kept it rolling on a goal of 5:35/mi. Had some tightening up on lap 6.5-8. My first 800 I felt like a completely new runner. Great form, strong. 2nd one was legit. The 2:25 had great feelings of pushing it perfectly, but never doubted I could hit 2:22. It was awesome. The 300's were with each 100m segment getting faster. Smooth as well. Great workout and confidence booster. I can still roll.  Th, 10/22/2015 6 miles easy out to Ft. McHenry and the Inner Harbor in 42:05 + 4 x 20" Strides * Feels like I have a new set of muscles, a new set of legs. S

I SHARED MY BODY AND MY MIND WITH YOU

Mo, 10/5/2015 AM: 2 mile shake-out at the HCGT in 20:44 PM: 4 miles easy with Madelyn on the Rail Trail in 30:49 * Probably would have been smarter to take a day off today. Right hammy/quad is completely trashed. Basically jogged around all day, not good. Madelyn pulled away from me in the final 5 minutes, she is gaining confidence.  Tu, 10/6/2015 Rest Day - Right Hamstring Strain We, 10/7/2015 5 mile rehab run testing the hamstring on the HCGT in 32:49 Th, 10/8/2015 AM: 6 miles on hilly country roads with 663ft of gain in 38:52 + 5 x 20" strides PM: 4 miles easy on the Rail Trail before Sophia's match in 30:28 * Got ballsy and opted for my hill run to strengthen my hamstring. It help up quite well. Felt very good on the strides. PM run was awesome. Felt light as a feather, no hamstring issue until the last 2-3 min then painful.  Fr, 10/9/2015 8 miles down to Nixon Park with the last 2 miles fast with 504ft of gain in 54:37 Sa, 10/10/2015 2M, 4x300 in 53-55-54-5
