This morning my hamstring was a little tight from yesterdays runs. I took off slowly to see if it would loosen up a bit but after 1/2 mile I realized it was harder to run because of more sorness than yesterday so I slowly ran the 1/2 mile back and decided not to run today. I decided I'm only going to run when the pain is better than or at least no worse than the run before. The hardest part of this recovery for me will probably be patience especially when I'm still thinking there's a chance at SGM. Every day that I can't run is frustrating. I went for a 15 mile ride on my mountain bike.

    PM   went for a 12 mile bike ride off raod.

Good job man. That is one of the toughest things for me too. Is to call off a run. And then followed yours up with riding your bike. Hope your hammy starts feeling better soon. You still have alot of time to recovery and still do great at SGM.

Thanks for the comment. I'm hoping I still have time to recover before SGM. It's coming fast.
