AM- 3 (7:45) Pulled my left hamstring a couple of days ago. Still doesn't feel too great but it's not terrible either. 

PM- As much as I hate missing running, the hamstring hasn't really been improving over the past couple of days. Reading on the internet says I should probably back off, so I guess I will for a couple of days. Hmph

AM- 4 (7:25) + 1 faster on grass (6:28). Hamstring felt better than yesterday, started to feel it a little bit near the end. Going faster feels pretty awkward with it

Hamstring felt much better this morning, but took today off to hopefully speed up the recovery.  At this point there's not much of a difference between not running and only running 5 miles anyways.

AM- 6 (6:45) Threw down a 6:14 last mile and did a couple of quickest strides. Hamstring wasn't locking up on me like it was a couple of days ago. A little tender but big improvement

Good workout. Was going for 3x2 Mile but figured I would risk crossing the line and blowing up hard on the last one so I stopped after the first mile. 

PM- 3 (7:05) Quick because of an approaching thunderstorm

AM- 4 Hiking

PM- 3 Warm Up

4xMile with .25 recovery:

5:23 (with wind)

1:49

5:43 (part with wind + some uphill)

1:50

5:41 (reverse of mile 2)

1:54

5:52 (reverse of mile 1, lots of headwind)

15 mph wind but some gusts much more than that. Averaged ~5:40 for the miles and 5:57 for the whole 4.75. 80 degrees + 70% humidity without being acclimated is tougher than Altitude. *found a chart with conversions for heat/humidity and even with subtracting time for the altitude difference it said I should've only been hitting 5:40-5:45's, a little less bummed about the workout now

Cooled down to 10
