3 mile test run on the TM.  27:25.  Some pain at 1.5, but not real bad, like Saturday.  Just enough to let me know it's there.  Need to decide about  extended time off after testing it out this week.  Will try the next couple of days and see if it worsens.  Ran well last week until Saturday, so if that happens again, I guess it's resting and/or the stationary bike for the month of December.

4 miles on TM in 36:30.  Progression from 10:00 min. pace to 8:30 pace.  Still feeling it some after 2.5.  Still not like Saturday.

3 TM miles after work.  Very easy starting out at 10:00 pace and increasing throughout to about 7:40 pace at the end.  Hamstring is still bugging me, but ran through it to see how it responded afterwards.  Somewhat sore all evening after icing.  Will try an easy 8 miler for Saturday's run, but if it grabs me like last week, I guess I'll be off the rest of the month and do some cross training on the bike.

8 mile solo run this morning.  Wrapped hamstring tight and had no real issues.  Just a hint.  Pace was extremely slow overall, around 10:00 min. pace.  Somewhat encouraging run.
