Day 33 - tryin' a few sprints

Once again, I got out of work and Michelle and the kids weren't home, so I went up to West Catholic's track and did 6 laps followed by four 100 yard sprints with 2 minutes rest between sprints.  Felt pretty good overall.
Distance: 1.5 miles (6 laps) plus four 100 yard sprints on their main football field.
Weight: 211.6 (Thursday on the Pain Center scale)

Results: less right knee soreness.  It seemed like it wanted to be sore the whole time but never was.  I did develop some soreness of my left 1st toe (the big toe).  That toe is one of the little issues I have had for a while now.  About a year and a half ago, I forcibly extended the toe while trying to run up the steps carrying my son.  It never really seems to have gotten back to normal (a little stiff and occasionally sore).
What I Learned: First, I probably need to do some stretching and mobilization of my 1st toe into extension.  Second, I should stick with 1.5 miles for a few days to make sure my knee does not continue to ache.

Plan: run on Friday, probably after work.  I think I will try this within my own neighborhood (no sprints involved).
