One word to describe today, "meh". It could have been better but I can count my blessings that I stayed healthy and didn't re-injure my hamstring. I was playing with fire a little bit, I did speed work for the first time since my injury and I had no pain at all. It was pretty cold out so I didn't do much work and the gym was only open in the morning so I had to do weights before speed which is never a great idea but I am going to justify it by saying I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to run at all.
   I felt pretty slow but I guess it will take some time to shake the rust off--I can't wait for summer, it was 8 degrees at the track today which I still found a bit chilly. I just want a nice, sunny 20 degree month, is that too much to ask?
   I almost had a pb in the weight-room but unfortunately I chickened out. I got 340lb's for the first four reps but I didn't think I was going to make the fifth rep so I didn't even try but I really wish I had. It seems like it was very symbolic of how I am afraid of failure. Next week I will be sure to go to failure.
