Cool morning (40) but light wind.  My legs were a little sore from getting back to running after taking a few days off.  Felt good as I went along and no problems with the hamstring.

First frost this morning (30).  I was a little tight getting started but felt better after the first mile.  The hamstring started tightening up around 2.5 miles and then started to hurt on the way back. I was able to make it back with no major problems but it is still messed up.  I think it is time to really shut it down and get this thing fixed.  I have been trying to get better and still make the race in Nov but now that is looking doubtful. I am thinking if I take off more time and get this healed I might at least be able to make the marathon in Dec although it will probably be slow.  This is really frustrating but I guess part of the running experience.  I will try to do some cross training to retain my fitness but really need to get this taken care of so I can move forward.

Started cross training on the bike today to try to keep some fitness while I let the hamstring heal.  Did 30 minutes on the bike today and some stetching/exercising.
