The Next Step

Just went out this morning to test the hamstring to see if it was good enough to run on.  After stretching and walking some I ran a mile and it was ok.  Still a little pain but nothing bad. Decided I should give it another day of rest, stretching and ice then see how it felt tomorrow.  I don't want to do anything stupid at this point and have a major set back.  Hoping a few days of rest and will be back in business.

Went out this morning and tested the leg again.  I probably could have ran on it but had some pain so decided to give it a couple more days of rest.  I am traveling tomorrow so won't run and will try to get going again on Thur.  Hoping that it is better then and I can get back to training.

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.

Honolulu, HI: It was warm (75) and humid this morning with light wind.  Felt pretty good this morning.  Ran up around Diamond Head and back.  The hamstring felt good.  It was a little tight but no soreness so hopeful that I won't have any more problems.  Plan on running easy for a few days until I am sure it is solid.

Honolulu, HI: Warm (74) and windy this morning.  Ran the route up around Diamond Head and back.  I was out a little later this monring and there were a ton of people out running.  Really cool to see that many people out.  I felt pretty good today and no problems with the hamstring on this longer run.
