Back to the track, a little

Beautiful night on the Sewanee track, mid 70ºs clear.  I wanted to test out the legs, now 4 days after the ham injury.  I found it still wasn't ready to really run past a fast jog.  But, I got a decent workout in afterward on the stairs and weights.

Hoka trainers on 

250m warmup, stretches, drills 

2 x 50m 

400m fast jog 

seated leg curl 

glute ham raises 

21 x Fowler Center stairs 

At least I was able to get a good stretch in and a good sweat, burn some calories.  It'll be better tomorrow.  I feel it mostly when running and doing 'fast leg' type drills.  When I do high knees drills, I don't feel it at all.  Still think I'll be able to do some meaningful foundation workouts by next week, maybe by Friday.   141.7 lbs after workout.

One thing that made my night was meeting the Sewanee Tennis coach, John S., who was there walking the track.  I was finishing up, sweating, shirtless... we chatted about college DIII sports and Masters Athletics, about his philosophy and long career at Sewanee.  He asked me about my training and I told him of my upcoming events.  Then he said: "so, you compete in your age group, what 35-39?"

Heh... I shit you not. He said that. After telling him my age, I found out Coach John is one year my junior, almost 57.
