AM - 6 hilly miles before church this morning.   Thought my pace was faster but it would appear that the strength in the left hamstring is not really there yet.   A bit painful to start but manageable for most of the run.   2000 meters of indoor rowing afterwards.  
 

PM - yoga. 

AM - 4.25 miles with Dan and Finn on the Milton trail - colder and the dirt road was full of puddles from the rains yesterday.   Hamstring was a bit better today - could have run futher but Dan was not feeling well.  2000 meters of indoor rowing afterwards. 

PM - 2 miles on the treadmill followed by a yoga session after my workday. 

AM - 5.25 miles from Dan's house with Finn on the horsetrail roads.   Slow first mile but warmed into a better paee - hamstring was tender to begin, but it seems some strength is returning to the tendon.   2000 meters of indoor rowing afterwards. 

AM - 5.25 miles with Dan and Finn on the golf course.  Slower paced today, a little more discomfort in the hamstring, though it is significantly hilly with some sharp ups and downs to aggravate it.   2000 meters of indoor rowing afterward.

PM - lunchtime yoga

AM - 5 miles on the trail early with Dan and Finn - very dark with no moon and the trails were a little wet from some light rain overnight.   Not a very good run - hamstring and achilles were uncomfortable.   2000 meters of indoor rowing afterward.  
 

PM - yoga at lunchtime and then 2 "barefoot" miles on the treadmill during a thunderstorm after work - power went out briefly during the run.   I really wish I could sustain barefoot running without injury - it is really nice to run with no hamstring discomfort due to the difference in gait from running with shoes.  Experience has been that I end up with injuries such as stress fractures in my feet running barefoot.   I am doing it now only a couple times per week and short distances.  Maybe I can gradually build up my bones and tendons and muscles with this gradual approach over time.   

AM - 5 miles in the neighborhood with Finn - colder, flurries and quite windy.   Slow but far less discomfort in the hamstring today for whatever reason.  2000 meters of indoor rowing.   

PM - 1 mile "barefoot" on the treadmill followed by yoga, after my workday. 

AM - 5.25 miles with the guys and the dogs on the trail.  Cold and very windy.  Terrible run for me with the hamstring.  
 

PM - 3 miles "barefoot" on the treadmill at my normal training pace.  No hamstring tendon issues.  Longest barefoot run so far.   2000 meters of indoor rowing and then yoga.
