Rhett

I started by warming up a bit running the stairs in my backyard for 5 minutes. I have 35 of them leading down to the basketball court. I had never counted before.  Then I jumped rope for 5 minutes followed by 5 minutes of bounding and high skipping. Through all of that I felt no pain or even tightness in my hammy, so I did 5 x 1/2 mile easy running with 5 minutes of jumping rope in between.  I then finished with 1 easy mile running.

3.5 miles total running-- NO PAIN, NO TIIGHTNESS, NO DISCOMFORT!

I'm not sure how I went from having painfull pop in my hamstring last Monday (making most any kind of forward propulsion painful for 4 to 5 days) to feeling like it is 100% today, but I'll take it. 
 

6 easy miles this morning with a few 30 second strides thrown in just to test out my hammy. All felt good still today. Looks like I should be able to get back into marathon training mode. :)

My bad hammy still feels 100% but a few other muscles were a bit sore this morning from getting back to running, so I did an easy 3.5 miles followed by a 10 mile bike ride. It made for a good recovery day.
 

After a nice little warm up I took off for an easy 3 mile run followed by 30 minutes jumping rope.  The hammy injury is better, but now a different strand of the same hammy is a bit tight, propably from picking up the slack of the strand that popped.  That is why I'm building back slowly.

I made it the first 25 minutes of my jump rope without a single miss.  Never done that before..not even close.
