first 400m since injury

About 50º, sunny with light winds, I was feeling like I needed to know where I am.  So, instead of doing a workout, I ran a near race pace 400m and did a few short and fast rolling sprints, but nothing all out.  Based on my times, I think I'm just about back to where I was end of Nov. before my injury.  Still a lot of work to do.

Hoka trainers on

Stretches, drills, bands, 2 x 100m

40m - 5.22

100m (rolling) - 12.79

400m - 60.32 (28.23, 32.09  / 13.38, 14.85, 15.30, 16.79) 

I ran a similar time (60.20) on Nov 29 in training with a bit more even splits.  Today, my last 100m was only 16.79, so that indicates I have work to do.  Even so, no one in the Masters Rankings has yet run under 61 indoor or outdoor, but I'm sure that will change soon.  

The Atlanta meet I was going to enter on 2/26 is not going to happen.  They are running odd distances, no 400 or 800.   I hope to race in KY on 3/5, and that looks like will be my only chance before Nationals ; (.  If not, I could run in a college meet outdoor at Berry same weekend.    If I wanted to fly to Va I could race on 2/26 but not worth it.   If I really felt ready, I could race in 12 days in KY but I doubt it.  

I'm eating more protein now and feel better.  A little heavier but that's ok for now.  142.7 after workout.
