AM - 5.25 miles with Dan and the dogs on the horsefarm trails - hamstring and legs were tired from yesterday - still having cold starts to the days in the mid 30's but it will warm to the low 70's.

AM - 4.5 miles with Dan and Finn from Dan's place.  Hamstring felt remarkably good today - inexplicable with the exception of changing up shoes with different drops that last few days, and introducing some additional strengthening exercises - perhaps the lack of a significant long run?   Who knows...it'll probably be painful again tomorrow or in the next few days.

AM - 3 miles on the treadmill due to heavy rains outside, and having to travel into the office for early morning meeting - had to keep it short.

AM - just under 5 miles with Dan and the dogs in the neighborhood and the golf course.  Very slow conversational pace.  Hamstring was achey afterwards.

AM - 3 miles with Finn to give him some exercise this morning.  

PM - 16 miles on the Alpharetta Greenway - mid afternoon- coolish but very windy and dry.  Greg met me for about 5 miles late in the run. Hamstring was achy but managable.  Last long run in this training period before Boston.
