Looking back, I had done several workouts with 600m repeats. Today, one was enough. Low 70ºs, moist and humid, wet track in Sewanee.
Hoka Clifton 3s on
400m warmup, stretches, drills
600m - 1:54
Hoka Clifton 1s on
200m - 27.34
It was also the fastest 200m I've run since injury, although with a running start and not yet attempting full speed.
It looks like it may be a long while before my next track workout. I might be able to squeeze one in a week from today but if not, it'll be 10 days from now, a week from Friday. Work is starting up again. I wouldn't say my knee is 100% yet. Last night I went to the gym and did upper body and 2 sets of slow squats to 90º with light weight (30lbs) on the left leg. It was a good enough workout that I was feeling sore in my glutes today. I could not have done this workout 3 days ago. I do need a full week in between track workouts still.
There's a chance I might run stadium stairs on Thurs. We'll see how it feels then.
I bought yet another pair of Clifton 1s ... the only place in the universe that still has them in my size... and only $72. I seriously doubt they'll reissue them again as they did this yr. Unfortunately, they only had the ugly yellow-green soled ones available. It's ok. Now I have 2 new pair and one lightly used. I plan to use them sparingly. I even have a coveted new pair of Clifton 3s still in the box.
Light and fit... 143.5 lbs after workout. I've been eating very lean lately. I must admit, I have an additional reason. A local prominent artist is using my body as a model for a sculpture in his gallery.
