4 miles in 31:33, 7:53/mi, HR 167.  Sunny and warm (77F).  Easy effort with 12 accelerations, 6 uphill, 3 downhill, & 3 flat.  Still trending in the right direction.  Core workout & stretching afterwards.  

Yesterday's cycling tweaked my hamstring at the upper attachment point.  Still getting acclimated to the bike seat, I guess.  Used the racquetball on the sore spot for quite a while yesterday evening, with some icing later.  I could feel it was still a bit sore today but didn't affect the run at all.

I keep thinking about your situation as I am reading this book, Born to Run. Have you read it? Amazon features a short video by the author if you are interested... http://www.amazon.com/Born-Run-Hidden-Superathletes-Greatest/dp/0307266303/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1247332494&sr=8-1

Have a great weekend.:) -Sno

Nope, I haven't read it, but I've heard about the guy....read some article on him somewhere I can't recall.

I've actually thought about trying an ultra. Getting off the pavement is definitely easier on the knees and feet, and I like running in the woods. But for now, I'll be happy increasing my run distance by a mile every couple of weeks!

Stay away from the lightning!
