Fri: rest
Sat: 4 mi race
Sun: 3 mi before I quit - hamstring really started to hurt around mile 2. Glad I was on the treadmill.

Now I think I am screwed.

Can you try pool running? My running buddy is injured and we have done all our long runs in the pool. I ran a 10k yesterday very successfully.

I've never done if before, so I have no clue if it would work. Is there a link on how to do it? I was going to rest the next couple days, then try to bike a bit Wednesday or Thursday. It feels better today, but still a bit twingey. I wrapped it in an ace bandage last night, which helped, and will probably re-wrap it when I get home. Thanks for your suggestions!

Friday: 4 miles on a gym bike followed by kickboxing

Sat: 50 miles on a damn gym bike (we're in the midst of a team gym challenge at work. Each team is limited to 100 outside miles per week, everything else has to be done in the gym. Classes are 5 miles, bike & treadmill count as-is. First team to 3000 miles wins [LA to DC-challenge is called Coast 2 Coast]. We are at roughly 2700, in first place, and hope to finish this week. I plan to take pics of a gym recumbent bike, blow it up to poster-size, and burn it in a bonfire after this challenge is over. I'd burn an actual gym bike if I could LOL. I can't ride my real bike because we always go over our 100 outside miles, so anything that I do on my real bike essentially won't count, and I don't have time for that).

Sun: 5K (29:09)
