5 easy recovery miles.  1.5 or so with Liz and Roland.  Skyline route at 5:10 a.m.  60 degrees.  Hamstring hurting last mile or so.

6 miles at 6:15 p.m.  Standard Skyline route plus 1 on 1400 E. and back.  Sore hamstring got worse throughout the run.  Icing tonight.  Need to lay off and rest it tomorrow.

Resting and icing.  Some improvement when walking, so keeping my fingers crossed.  May test it some tomorrow or on Saturday.

7:00 a.m.  4 miles with Tina.  Tendonitis pain in my lower left hamstring returned by mile 1 and progressively got worse, especially on the downhill after about 2.5.  Walked for half a  mile and then returned home easy on the flat and slight uphill, which wasn't quite as bad.  I think I'll try to see the doc on Monday or as soon as I can.  Maybe he'll give me some cortisone or prednizone, otherwise I think I'm off for two weeks.  The marathn may be out at St. George.  We'll see.  A real bunner!
