I've got a fever...
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

Future running partner.
Be careful with those strides, they can aggravate that hamstring even more. May some uphill running instead.
More of the same coming for this week -- nothin' but easy miles. Would like to be above 40 for this coming week, but it will be a busy one, so we'll see.
You probably already know this but given your hammy situation I feel compelled to write. If your hammy is only a little sore, I think the strides are ok. You may want to try running them after completing your run. Do them in 50-60 meter bursts. Only run as fast as you can before you start to feel your hammy pull. Also make sure you are focusing on running with your best form and not on effort. Between them use a brisk walk or a very slow jog to recover and let yourself recover completely. I've recently come to realize just how important these things are when doing base training.

Disappointed to not be racing this weekend, because I really have the itch, and I'm pretty sure I could get under 19:00 for 5k. But there are times to HTFU, and there are times to be smart. This is one of those "smart" times.
