Cruising Right Along :)
March 8th-Sunday: I went to the Spring Ahead 3 Miler in the AM, not entirely sure if I was going to race or not. I jogged around for a couple min and my hamstring felt fine, but still a little tight. I signed up and got my number, 5-6 min into the warm up, the same pain and tightness came back in my upper right hamstring area as yesterday. Really bummed out after this, but I still got to watch my brothers battle it out! Seth got 3rd-(16:48-5:36/mile)-(beating my PR on this course from 2013-16:56-5:39/mile) and Kurt got 7th-(17:18-5:46/mile) with this being his first race back since his pneumothorax this past fall.
1.1 miles-(9:20) + a few ST that were only greeted with pain.
March 9th-Monday: Off
March 10th-Tuesday: 5.15 miles-(40:28) in the PM + a core workout-(4 sets of 50 sec x front, r side, l side + 30 sec holding leg raise while laying on back + 60 sec same thing + 35 sit ups). I also did 2 sets of 12 calf raises/eccentric heel drops.
March 11th-Wednesday: Q1-(9 E + 2 ST + 2 x (2 T-(12:34 and 13:32) w/2 min jg rest) + .75 E)-14 miles-(1:44:58) in the early PM. I went out too hard on the 1st set with a 6:05 1st mile. It cost me on the 2nd set; I was also really fighting the wind coming off the lake. I cut the cool down by a mile because of my stomach and lack of any energy in my legs. I had a VFuel Gel at 8.25 mi. into the run.
March 12th-Thursday: 4 miles-(33:05-168 ft of elevation gain) on the treadmill in the AM. Another 5 miles-(35:51) w/Seth in the PM + a core workout-(3 sets of 60 sec planks x front, r side, l side w/60 sec rest in between each + 2 min front plank + 40 sit ups)
