6 Miler

I ran six miles tonight. Next weekend I have to run 4 for the triathlon. I signed up for the Lyme Sprint Triathlon again. Last year, Dave and Clarence canoed, Scott biked, and I ran. We came in first overall. However, this year we have some injuries. I don't know if we can defend our title.

5 Miles

I ran 5 miles today with very little leg tightness. However, my shin splints are back. The 5 five weeks off and the sudden surge of activity has aggravated them. Oh well!

Boilermaker 09

My leg was tight, but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. It was a little difficult not knowing how hard to push it. I started out very easy, and picked up the pace as I went on. I would back off when I felt tightness. Towards the end I did pick it up a little. My time of 1:13:41 was pretty good for not that much running in the last 5 weeks.

The Hammy Mystery

Today my hamstring doesn't hurt, isn't tight, and feels good. Although I didn't run, it feels good. I know I can run the Boilermaker, but I don't think I should go for time.

4 Miler

I ran 4 miles with an extremely tight hammy. I ran about a 9:30 pace. I will rest it for three days and race on Sunday.

Still tight

Hammy is still tight two days after the nine miles. I will rest again, ride the bike, and maybe run a 5 miler before the Boilermaker.
