North Little Rock High

Maybe I should rethink this 200 monkey business. My legs felt beat to pieces through one 1000-meter attempt, completed in 5:01.8 at the North Little Rock High track (lighted by the last few minutes of North Little Rock's 38-0 victory over Little Rock Hall in a junior varsity football game at the adjacent stadium). My calves were sore; I knew that, but the first few strides disclosed a deep soreness in my hips. It might be a little late in the 5K season to disrupt my equilibrium with workouts like Tuesday's. I will consider doing fewer 200s, or running them slower, or limiting myself to the brief, morning sprints on the Levy Loop. I have felt exclusively great after each of those sessions. We'll see.

I walked the Levy Loop this and yesterday morning, and aborted an attempt of the Orange Street Loop after a block and a half last night.
