Sunday, Dec 19, 2010:
Charities Challenge held another indoor track event at Bethel University on Sunday, and I warmed up for three miles and then ran most of the races, just for training. First the mile, then the 200 m, then 800 m, and finally 400 m. I skipped the 60 m, afraid I’d hurt myself, and the mile race/walk, which feels very unnatural for me.
I ran just slightly better than two weeks ago, except for the 800 m. the pace for the mile was 7:29, whereas it was 7:31 for the 1500 m two weeks ago - not enough difference to matter. I expect that I could do better at any of the distances, of course, if I weren’t running them all. Time will tell. The 400 improved by six seconds because I was chasing my friend Harvey, who is a little faster than me.
The hamstring didn’t hurt at all during the warmups or the races, but it did a little bit later in the day. Now, a day later, it’s fine and muscles feel as though they did some work yesterday. It’s good.
