Honolulu, HI: typical morning here. Warm and humid. Wanted to see if the hamstring was good after taking several days off. Stretched out and felt good. Started off easy to see how it would go. Didn't have any problems but didn't want to push too much the first day back so kept it short. Had a little tightness but no pain so was thankful for that. Ran out to Diamond Head and back. Want to go a little further tomorrow.

Out of the several hamstring injuries I had, the best thing to do is just go slower and watch the stretching. Rolling on a volleyball or soccer ball worked best for me. Increase protein as well.

Thanks! I will try those out. I have been using the Stick for massaging it and seems to be helping. I often wonder about diet and hydration on injuries. I don't pay enough attention to those things but need to.
