ceb - Saturday, April 1, 2023 at 23:17:10 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) Ran the Frank Nealon Boston Tune-Up 15k today. Time was 1:38:59 A steady rain actually stopped just before the 10:00 am start. I was a bit blown away by the competition as this was a USATF-NE certified race. I placed 11th out of 16 in my AG. My pace was 9:33 / mile. The rain picked up again pretty steadily at about mile 8 for me. Many of us in the GLRR met at Rushford & Sons Brewhouse on Grove St, after the awards. The GLRR Club did not win in the club championships. I'm not sure how we did in the overall club standings yet. Stavros Kanaracus, a fast master in the GLRR, blew me away with a 9:03 pace. A fellow non glrr took this pic of us with my phone. I Posted it on the GLRR Facebook site today. https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/10813924010ceb - Sunday, April 2, 2023 at 23:24:23 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) 7 miles Sunday on an extended Groton Farm Loop run.

I took Friday 4/7 off to rest before the run Saturday, 4/8. On Saturday I ran 8.13 miles with the Lowell group. I didn't start my watch in time, so I relied on a friend (Mike's) watch. Time was 1:00:22. Paced was 10:09. My left hamstring began to feel pretty sore mid-way into it. P = 6 out of 10 -- possibly due to lifting and bending a lot at work last week. https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/10863327484 Using bags of frozen peas to ice it both yesterday and today, Easter Sunday. I walked 4 miles today and in the afternoon it felt better (P = 4-5). I tried to run a few steps during the walk. Not possible! It feels like I aggrevated an old 2007 injury but it doesn't feel torn like it did back then. So, it's a day at a time now. I'll see how it feels with more walks. By coincidence, I was fortunately scheduled for a lighter work week (3 instead of 5 days) for this coming week. Here is my 4 mile walk map for today. https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/10869030613 ceb - Tuesday, April 11, 2023 at 00:22:55 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) 4.85 mile walk later this afternoon. Left leg still too sore to run on but the pain seems less overall. Work was ok. Didn't seem to get worse. Pain about 4-5 today on average. Iced it again. No pain killers needed. https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/10878103329 ceb - Tuesday, April 11, 2023 at 23:51:17 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) I ran a mile today on a more local track (than Harvard's). There was a track meet going on at the one in Harvard. My mile was an experiment to see if the pain would get bad. It didn't. I didn't feel comfortable pushing it anything beyond the 14:02 pace though. I may add on a mile or two in the coming days. https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/10884850255 ceb - Friday, April 14, 2023 at 00:52:54 (GMT) (subtract 4 for local time) 2 mile run on Wednesday at the Harvard track. It all seemed to go well. I walked a mile after making it 3 miles. The left hamstring got pretty sore again a few houra later. Depressing!
