Finally back at home with a few minutes to run, headed to Illahee Preserve to cap a busy weekend. Peaceful woods, almost didn't see another soul. Legs felt nice and light and healthy, good pace on a perfect evening. 34:00

Out to Illahee State Park and back. Medium pace, though I cruised the downhills a bit and stretched my stride out. A little hip flexor soreness to finish. Felt good climbing the trail out of the beach. 48:00

Kind of an aborted small workout, but I'll still take it as I get back into some solid training. One of the Jaguars I coach qualified for the national championship, and I had planned to have her run 3x800 today. My idea was to pace her through those, then do another 3 myself. But she had two teeth removed today and wasn't up to it. So after a lighter workout I stuck around the track, warmed up 1.5 miles until my hip flexor loosened up, then started a Yasso 800 workout to see how many I could do w/200m jog breaks.

The first two were too fast (2:40, 2:43), the third on pace (2:51), but the fourth started falling apart (2:54). It was hot and my leg was hurting so I called it and cooled down with an easy 800. Had to get back to work anyway. 31:50 overall

Morning run on Beach Drive w/Mike. A bit cooler than it has been, only 50F when we started. My groin was stiff from the start, we began by running back through Port Orchard to check on a small new urban trail, then came back through Annapolis at 25 minutes and headed out Beach Drive. 

My groin eventually warmed up, but the left hip flexor and hip/hamstring were both talking to me most of the way. Possibly because we could not stick to a slower pace, as planned. After mile 3 we were hitting 7-7:05 each, with two (10 and 12) at 6:40 and 6:50. Probably faster than necessary, but I suppose that indicates we have some fitness. Significant pain and soreness in my left hip flexor/hip at the finish though, I've stretched/iced/showered so hopefully during the day I loosen up.
