Met early at Liberty to do 2 miles then we ran to Granite for a workout on the track. I was tight going out and by the time we got to the track, I was granny running. We did 6 strides on the grass and my glutes were so flippin tight I had no drive and couldn't stride out. It helped to pound my glutes with a fist to try and get them to relax. But it was a tight, hard to move workout. We did 3 sets of 4 400's at 95-90-85-80, minute rest between each and 2 laps between sets. It was a good workout. We were always 2-3 seconds fast on the first 200 of each repeat. The first ones came easy but by the end of the set I was working hard. I am grateful this workout went better than last week's. Running back to the park I thought I would die- from the pressure/tight hips of the slow pace I couldn't pick up. It was miserable, long the whole way back.
