A Slender Man's Log

4X1200 feet sprints
1X500

These are the best I have done in a LONG time. I think they might even be personal record. My hamstrings and calves have felt like daggers are being driven into them all day, but I managed to fix that. The weight gain has slowed extremely so I have increased the calories by 200 with mostly intake fat a few days ago.
