Sun 6/9 - AM 75 minutes very easy

GMNWR. The aftermath of yesterday's race turns out to be more depressing than the race itself. Right hammie locked up to an absurd degree, limping along the entire way as a result. Range of motion close to nil and fairly sharp pain when I flexed my hip just so. Didn't experience anything this bad after the failed 10k, or the up and down trail half marathon in Forest Park, among other recent efforts. I suppose the faster pace in spikes did the trick, whatever the case the degree of dysfunction and stiffness was an unpleasant surprise. The original plan was to cap off the run with a dip in the pond but I was going so slowly that over an hour had already passed by the time I got back to Emerson field from the refuge trails, and the prospect of slogging along on one leg up the hill to the pond and then back was just demoralizing. Also took too long to get going such that it was already lunchtime when I bagged it. Visiting the pond was the only reason for heading over to Concord instead of jogging in Area 51 instead, so the trip as a whole was a fool's errand. Although I did get to see the innumerable carp being pushed out of the refuge swamp into the river by the overflow from Friday's rain. To top things off, definitely developing a sore throat, no doubt all the late bedtimes playing a key role. It can only get better from here thankfully.
