Slept in til 7 and then headed out (oh that felt so good!) Did one of my reg 10 mile routes and then added on some hill repeats. Didnt push to hard on them since my legs are still a little tired from saturday. Good news is that my hamstring felt so dang good today! So I saw April on saturday and they were very tight but she said it emotional stress. That there were no real knots in them. I asked her how she could tell the difference and she said that no matter how much she pushes on them they just wont let go and it feels different. She said I needed to relax and my legs/muscles would relax too. I was so happy to hear that! I think I have just been freaking out whenever I feel it get tight and then I get stressed about it and probably make it worse. So I working on relaxing and not stressing about the marathon. (easier said then done:)

Nice job! I am jealous you got to sleep until 7! Sounds like you had a great run. Enjoy the Holiday!

That hamstring news is good to hear. Although "relaxing" is easier said than done.
