The workout that almost didn't happen ended up not happening anyway

~2k tempo + 3 pickups

treadmill warm up

It was the will of the universe that I not do hill strides today

I was actually looking forward to this one. The plan was 5x(2,2,4), but the adductors have been tight and on the 2nd rep of the third set I felt a slight strain in my left adductor and I called it immediately. I really want to get some serious training going, but one thing I want even more is to stay healthy. This morning was rough. I took Ayla to family story time at the library and told myself I'd be able to run in the afternoon when it was warm. But then I had to rock Ayla for an hour and 45 minutes to get her to fall asleep for her nap. It was brutal and I realized that is why my neck has been stiff and my knees have been hurting a little. How ridiculous is that? 

The workout was going well, so there's that. 66.2 for both 400's and they felt smoother and more relaxed than the last time. Plus the HR monitor is finally giving believable data, so it looks like getting a Coros watch was the right call. Even though I ran in lane 3, the distances seem pretty spot on, too.
