Seven laps around the outside loop and once around the inside loop.  My left hamstring is really starting to bother me.  Not sure if it is one of those things that will work itself out.  I had a hard time staying focused on the run.  My mind was wandering which made the run go by quickly.

Finally got to go beyond the neighborhood loop but the run was not enjoyable because my legs feel dead.  My left hamstring is still causing issues and there was an overall feeling of fatigue in both legs (from top to bottom).  I tried pushing the pace a couple of times but I just couldn't do it.  Hopefully it is just one of those days.

My left hamstring is still sore and my legs still feel dead.  I'm going to hold back on the mileage until I can get this under control.

Still taking it easy until my legs come around.  They feel better than yesterday but still not where I want them to be.  It was very cold this morning but not as bad as I thought it would be after watching the weather reports.

I was too busy with work this morning and by the time I could get out I didn't have enough time to get home and get my son to orchestra practice.  I guess that my hamstring needs a break anyway. I'm still trying to plan my schedule for this year.  I am leaning towards the Striders 5k, 10k and 1/2M.  I am debating between the Ogden 1/2 and full.  Planning on a few local 5ks and the Des News 10k during the summer.  Would like to finish the year with the Park City and Top of Utah marathons.  Now, I just need a kick in the back side to get my training back up to where it needs to be.

Ran kind of a hodge podge route today.  Ran up to the rec center to meet with the running club.  Only a couple of ladies showed up so I ran the designated route on my own.  After that I just kind of meandered through town trying to get up to 15 miles.  I was able to maintain a decent pace for the entire run without a huge effort.  My hamstring is still bothering me but feel as though it is on the mend.  Hope all the FRB'rs did really well at Painters.  I'm anxious to read all of the reports.
