AM - 70 minutes incl. Bridge of Flowers 10k. Over a minute faster than last year's race but still light years from a respectable time even for this gut buster of a course. I figured it would be a slog based solely on how little sleep I've gotten the past few nights, with last night being particularly bad after a frenzied evening spent in scatterbrained fashion packing at the last minute. On top of this, right hamstring/psoas which have been getting tighter of late felt stuck and stiff from the moment I started a listless warmup. At the very least, this prevented me from overdoing it at the start of the race, and while the last two miles were something of a deathmarch it was not nearly so bad as last year. Splits:
5:38
5:43
7:32
5:25
6:02
5:46
Right thigh/butt felt like garbage afterward, to a greater degree than expected.
PM - 40 minutes very easy, Norwottuck rail trail. In hindsight should have stuck to the bike instead of doing any kind of extra running today, even with an afternoon nap there was no energy and the right leg still felt like crap despite doing some direct pressure on a few of the problem spots. One of the slower runs I've done in a long while.
