- Hamstring stretch- Put my feet together, and bend straight down and touch my toes (Hold for 10 seconds, 3 times).

In running news, I got two more runs in since the last time I logged. I did a four miler on Wednesday with Dave at work. He is faster than me, so I decided to use it as a tempo run. Truth is... we were shooting for 9 minute miles and just went faster than that. He took me on a new route near work and it was a lot of fun. I look forward to running with Dave in the future. Very cool. I also went on a short run today too. Results of both are below.
Wednesday's Run Recap- 3.77 miles, 32:24, 8:36 pace
Thursday's Run Recap- 2.11 miles, 19:03, 9:02 pace

Nice work on the tempo run and the other run.
Question: can you actually touch your toes on your hamstring stretch? I am so inflexible I can only get within a few inches of my toes. I guess practice makes perfect eh?
Good to hear your feeling great!

I can... But, I'm not convinced that my legs are entirely straight. Pretty darn close though. I've always been somewhat flexible. Running has actually made me less flexible.
