Got out this afternoon for an easy run.  I felt really good today but just ran easy.  It was rainy and cooler today.

It was a nice day today.  I had thought about running a tempo today but I was dragging today so just took it easy.  Turned out to be an ok run.

I was busy (and a little lazy) the last couple of days so didn't get out.  Today I went to the track to run 6 x 800.  I did a 2 mile warmup and then started the repeats.  Felt really good which is probably because I didn't run the last couple of days and was rested.  I was running well but on the 5th one my hamstring tightened up toward the end.  Tried stretching it out but didn't seem to help.  Jogged a little and it was still hurting so cut the repeats short. Hope this doesn't cause me another set back. Here are the splits: 3:01, 2:58, 2:59, 2:57, 2:57.

Thought I would see how the hamstring was feeling after ice, massage, etc.  It was tinder the whole time and getting  worse so stopped.  Needs more rest.
