Training update

June 16,

My hamstring is feeling quite well lately. The last two weeks (35 and 40 miles) I spent building up my mileage again, so I'm taking it easy this week to insure I dont overdo it. I did 2 consecutive 50+ mile weeks in February/March which, combined with speedwork, resulted in a hamstring injury which I've been nursing for a good 2 month. After adding a lot of stretching and lower body strength training i'm just about back to where my mileage was, but I have not been doing much speed work. I'm hoping to get back into that a little bit, maybe at the Test of Endurance this weekend where I'll be running the short course. 4 weeks till my next 50 km (S.O.B) and 6 weeks till my first 50 miler (PCT 50) near Mt Hood.
