Great workload. Humid conditions. Feeling pretty healthy but my right hamstring had weakness and prevented me from running the final 2 x 2:30 fast.

Was concerned about my left side, but held up tremendously well and it was more my right side that gave me some concern. Was going to run the full fartlek, but was pretty done by the 2', 1'... great day, 18' of fast running at sub-5:45/mi pace on a wet grass field. Will take it. Feeling healthy. Th, 8/23/2018 5 miles around Lake Williams with 564ft of gain in 43:14 * Perhaps a bad decision to run trails after a track day, but I haven't been having success running the slanted greenway after hard efforts. I always have failure in my legs. Anyhow, I felt pretty good, running pretty easily on the trails. Only tightened up after I stretched and then with a mile to go on my left oblique
