5 miles easy at 5:05 a.m.  Best the hamstring has felt since the week before the marathon.  Still very slow at 49:29.  Full sweats this morning was a bit too much.  Felt much warmer than 39 degrees indicated on my thermometer.  Standard Skyline route to the gate and back via Loma Vista and Upland loops.

10 miles in 1:20:33 with Tina.  8:03 average pace.  Flatland loops of Stansbury Park and through Erda west of the highway up to Erda Way and back.  Very encouraging run.  Back on pace.  Splits: 8:20, 8:02, 8:00, 7:49, 8:00, 7:54, 7:54, 8:16, 8:08, & 8:06.  No real hamstring issues until 9 miles where I was feeling it some, so decided not to go for 12 miles today.  The normal pace was encouraging enough for next week at Snow Canyon.  I don't plan on pushing it there, just enjoy the run.  I hope the weather will be decent.  Got my Boston acceptance in my e-mail yesterday.  Now I need to get healthy and stay that way for a while.
