So far so good on easing back into things. Still some tightness in the lower hammie but no pain at all.

It was a dark and clear sky this morning with the temperature at the Sundwall house a chilly 37 degrees. That is the coldest it's been in months...another indication that winter is near. I woosed out and wore running pants this morning. I usually reserve those for sub freezing temperatures but as I said, I woosed out.

Lots of stretching afterward plus two minutes of jumprope and some hamstring exercises.

Your no whip I almost wore my tights today and it was 40 degrees in Pocatello Idaho. I did have a singlet on and a long sleeve shirt with shorts and gloves.

What XC races are you focusing on now? I hope the hamstring gets loose and flexible for you quickly.

Sean,

This is off-topic, but what years were you on your mission? I served in the San Bernardino mission from 87-89. Coincidentally, I left on Sep 23, 1987. I suspect you are a bit younger than me.

Good luck at Twin Cities.

I was in Berdoo from 92-94. I guess that makes me younger than you. :-)
