running/walking 1:00:00 [2] 1.0 mi (1:00:01 / mi)
slept:8.0 shoes: Vasque Blur

Tried to race the Clinton North Shore 8.5 Mile trail race, but tripped and pulled right hamstring from jerking the leg trying to catch my fall.

Did dynamic stretching for 5 min to warm up. Running felt good over the rocky trail. Vision got blurry about half mile into run. Just cross the paved road (towards the marina), then tripped - about the .75 mark. Walked back.
Started icing about 1.5 hrs later.

Need to see doctor about the blurriness since I had the same problem in Lincoln (marathon) in May. One thing after another, don't know when I'll ever run hassle free, if ever, again. Maybe no more rough stuff.

shoes: Asics Gel-Cumulus9

AM - Topeka "Labor your Legs" group run and breakfast. Easy.

After run, went to Great Plains Running Company and finally got an analysis on a treadmill to prove I do pronate (right foot more than left) and that I need stability, not neutral shoes. Will this help reduce injuries? One will see. . .
