I felt great in the morning and went for a 7 mile run. Got some dynamic stretches in and was still feeling very loose. Used the rolling stick to massage out for about a half hour. Did some exercises to strengthen my lower back and loosen up the hip areas. Need to start getting back into the hurdle work.

We were back at the track for a 3rd time this week. I figured it was going to be short but I didn’t know exactly what Coach had in mind because, like always, he never tells us. So we warmed up for two miles. Did 6 x 150 to loosen up. Jogged a lap. Then 6 x 200 at, basically, an all out sprint (26/27 per 200). It took me about 100 meters to even get my bricks, I mean legs, to move. Very tight, stiff, and felt like I couldn’t possibly get my legs to go any faster. We jogged a half mile afterwards where I jumped over two hurdles. I really need to get back into hurdle work.

Nice cold ice bath, as I type. Other than trying to keep the computer from falling into the water, its not too bad. It definitely helps keep the mind off the cold.

Til tomorrow…We Are One 365.
