No running.  Resting today.  PT says I'm good to go, but need to get serious about stretching these hammies.

5 miles in 46:03.  Still running very easy recovery miles.  Soreness is going away, but hamstring still hinting at some problem.  Felt pretty good tonight. 54 degrees at 6:30 p.m. on the Westland Route.  Up to 900 S., down Coleman to 200 S. over to the USU Regional campus, Vine to Main and home.  Planning on running in City Creek Canyon after work tomorrow night.  Resume early morning weekday runs next Monday.
