wasted after the second 200, really pushed hard on it.

- stretch

tough workout, pleased with the level of effort, especially on the last 200. everything prior felt pretty slow, though. no times yet but i convinced my gf to come to the track with me and she taped all the sprints and a bit of my warm up as well. will edit the vids together this week for your viewing pleasure, and for all of you with sprinting experience to tell me what i'm doing wrong. i'll see if imovie has a function that places a stopwatch in the corner of the vid so i can get some approximate times for each rep.

Heart's out to the guy. I could barely look at the still, let alone the video. ESPN.com says his season is "in doubt"...uh, no shit, Sherlock. His career is in doubt after an injury like that.

yes, i know where it comes from and what it means. 

in colloquial american english, "menthol" refers almost exclusively to cigarettes. you would never say there was menthol in chocolates, you'd just say they were mint-chocolates or had mint in them or mint flavoring. the only other case where you might say menthol is in reference to a pharmaceutical product like mouthwash or topical analgesic.

harrumph.

in america, menthol =

almost as light as me!   

I just have a sneaking suspicion Entropy  is underestimating himself at his height/weight.

you are not the first.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder kind of a lot, head
MENTAL STATE: headache, tired

- warm up
added a-marches and a-skips, as well as side-to-side hops and high-knee carioca. best SL bound sets were 12y(R) and 11.5y(L)

- sprint 60m x 4; 300m x 1
right knee bugging on the first couple of 60s but it loosened up. played around with starting position, having feet farther back. i think it's better. also tried to run with better backside mechanics, snapping feet up and stepping over rather than letting my hips tilt forward and my feet drift back. my self-diagnosis, helped along by the vid and korfist article i posted in the sprinting section earlier, is that i'm a push runner to the hilt and that i'm super inefficient. form felt a bit forced but not slower. hopefully with a bit of practice i'll gain speed just from fixing that one problem. the 300m was 47.3; the first ~130m was into a brisk headwind. still sad that i'm not below 45 but i'll get there sooner or later.

- cool down walk

- stretch

pretty happy with this workout considering how stressful the past two days have been, and that i had a headache basically from lunch until i started warming up this evening.
