Roughed out plan was to run for an hour like yesterday. Knew that wasn't going to work my first step off the sidewalk. Hamstring was quite tight. Felt it the whole way. It seems to be improving only at a glacier's pace. Need to be careful to balance recovery with my extreme need to get mileage. Patience, Young Grasshopper, patience.

Just wanted to run for an hour to test left hamstring. First 4 miles, no problem. Then I started feeling it slightly. Just felt "over-stretched". By the time I hit last 2 miles, not feeling all that good.

Did cannonball routine yesterday. Plan to do it again today. Also, try icing morning and night.

Tried a run this AM. Stopped after .25 mile. Left hamstring is not good.
