Notes
This run had very mixed results. First four miles were right on target & I felt pretty good. Mile 4 was slightly slower than the first three, but it was into a headwind, which had picked up, and there was no change in effort. The second four miles did slow a notch to 10:10 to 10:15 & I'm really not sure how much of the drop off was related to wind & dodging traffic except for mile 6, where I had no choice but to slow for a short stretch to get around some road construction. Otherwise the effort was still good until just before the 8 mile mark when I felt that soreness in the hamstring which I discussed in my e-mail. I did do the exercises after the run & had no problem with them or with the hamstring while doing them.
