I'm approaching the end of the summer base building phase and getting ready to start training for the Mississippi Blues Marathon. I have been having some ongoing issues with hip soreness and core strength. So, I have begun a 3x/week core routine with stretching for the problem areas. I'm into the second week of that and wanted to work on my running form at the track.
This morning I got up early and got out there. For the first time in a long time, EVERYTHING worked like it was supposed to. No soreness or tightness in the left hip and I did not drag me left heel in the approach to the footstrike. The walkers that were out there had great manners. They left the inside lane for me. I almost wish I could have gotten out there earlier so I could have run some more.
4 lap warm up in 10:02
4x800m with 400m rests 3:49, 3:13, 3:48, 3:13, 3:45, 3:32, 3:50
and 4 laps BAREFOOT in the infield grass 10:17
I felt like a kid again running barefoot in the grass. I can see myself doing that again.
Another long absence
