Dec 30

FIT:
6.6 mi in 56:44. An 8:36 pace. At 5pm, after sleeping for 12 hrs (on top of a week of sleeping in). First 2 loops no biggie. Tired for the last. Concentrated on short strides w/ no overstriding. Rt thigh pushed to pain for last 100m when I sped up. Wore cotton tee in 52 deg. iPod - good to have a nice run long enough to get lost in again. Rt butt right under bone hurts. Splits> 26:38 r2, 10:50 h2, 8:00 r3, 11:14 h4. Decent slowdown. Cdn't do 7.5 w/o stops in the last 2+ mi a month ago, so finishing 6.6 w/o stops is a recent record, I guess.

FUEL:
Hydrated a lot today, and felt fine drink and fuel-wise during the run. Used to not get hungry til mile 11, anyway, and the 7 mi chills not until... mile 7. Had a lot to eat for breakfast, prob b/c I woke up at 1:40pm. Salmon, cereal, milk, dry roasted peanuts, tangerine.

FIT:
Day b/f> 40 min strength. 200 crunches, 15 tridips, 30 pushups, 1:00 side planks, 2x2 min plank, 35 supermans, 40/45/40 leg lifts/clam, 3x35 quad dips, 35 calves, 2x60s 6in. Musclers were stiffer that day (dec 29). Inner thigh still hurts.

Oh yeah, today, my inner thighs felt better. Not 100%, but noticeably better. Sleep prob helps.
