     Yesterday evening I started feeling a bit of soreness in my right hamstring. It felt fine the rest of Saturday after the race and the first part of the day Sunday. I don't normally get any muscle soreness after a 5k. I started running this morning and it felt like it would loosen up and feel fine, but after less than 1/4 mile it tightened up and got worse. I quite running and decided I'd rest it and not take any chances on aggravating it further. I went on a 15 mile mt bike ride instead. It's a nice time of year to ride on some of the dirt roads around here. The ones that were plowed during the winter are dry now and nice and hard packed and smooth. They will probably start grading them soon and then there's a lot of loose gravel. My favorite roads don't get plowed and are still under snow

     My hamstring feels a lot better but I decided to give it another day just to be safe. Did the same 15 mile bike ride again. Had good energy and rode pretty hard both days.

     Tried running again today and the hamstring  felt good. I went for 7 nice relaxed miles. It had to be the nicest day of the year so far with the temp above 50 and sunny. The snow is going fast. I had a flock of sandhill cranes soaring overhead making their music. They are the first ones I have heard this year. Always a sign of spring. 8:08 AP.
