Wokeup and figured might as well run. Locked myself out and then immediately had hamstring problems. I felt like I kind of pulled something getting off the bus yesterday. I wanted to go back home, stretch, ice, and sleep. Since I was locked out I decided to just go slow and try and get some more miles. Body warmed up but for sure didn't want to go fast. Didn't have any pulls until mile 6. 7.03 miles

Liam and I are ready for the 4x800, if like 8 dudes can’t race this weekend. Out past my old neighborhood and such. 3.54 miles

George Mess Around. Hit South Rim Trail with George with some side quests. Beautiful terrain! Marked super well. We passed a biking couple and never looked back. Glad Georgie is getting back in the running game. Only complaint was the heat, got warm early. 10.14 miles
