Thurs July 29

I’m at baseball camp. We did a showcase day and some defensive work. My pcl knee is very sore. I ran two 60s today. My times were incredibly crappy but everyone at the camp was saying thy their best times were usually three tenths faster. I ran 7.20 and 7.27 which are my two slowest ever. I’ll just hope it was the conditions and soreness combining nd not me actually getting slowr

Fri July 30

Had two games and some hitting sessions. My knee was very sore and I iced it a couple times. Now it’s not really painful but it’s pretty stiff

sat july 31

home from baseball camp. had one game today. hamstring is very tight and sore, but no more sharp pain. i will take a couple days of microstretching it and icing it and off from speed work and hamstring exercises then see how it feels later this week
