5 miles at 6:15 p.m.  Used Icy Hot, stretched, and wrapped the hamstring before I ran.  No real problems tonight, but an extremely slow pace.  I can just begin to feel something not right still when I try to pick up the pace even a bit.  Still need to be careful.

4 miles easy again, like last night.  6:20 p.m.  To real issues.   Heading to St. George Wednesday and Thursday on business, but hope to get a run in along the Virgin River trail sometime, if I can get the people I'm with to cooperate on the schedule a bit.

4 miles on Virgin River / Mayor's Loop in St. George.  34 degrees down in the river bottom.  Easy running.  Hamstring not too bad.  Dark for first mile.  Few runners out.

4 very slow miles this morning at 5:00 a.m.  Didn't push anything.  Hamstring okay at that pace.

8 miles with Tina at 9:00 a.m.  Middle Canyon route to above gas line and back home direct.  Fairly slow going up.  Careful coming down.  Hamstring okay, but had it tightly wrapped.  Icy roads in spots.  7 miles in 1:04:12.  8 miles in about 1:12:30.  Felt good and had a decent week.  Still feel like I need to be very careful.  Tina slowed down for me a lot today, but it was good to be back running with her.
