Monday
I was sore and stiff this morning.
Morning flow. Yoga.
Lunch XT. Precor bike 4.6 miles, 20 minutes. Bench #115, 135 2x5, #145 1x3. Squats #115 3x5. Nautilus Compound row #110 125 3x5. Hip abduction #70 3x10. Stretch.
It is 6:35 p.m. and I just finished 15 minutes in the hot tub. My body feels pretty good now. I should be ready for a hard track session tomorrow. I think this is how it is suppose to work.

Before bed yoga.
Wednesday
Morning flow. Yoga.
Evening run. LM, leg swings, 5 miles easy with some walking. Stretch.
My hamstrings were sore during this run; the left more so than the right. I found this odd because I hadn't any discomfort all day. I tried being smart and did some intermittent walking. I think I will forego tomorrow's speed work in favor of another easy run or no run at all. The goal is consistent training for 2015.

Thursday
I just couldn't drag myself out of bed this morning. I didn't have the time for any stretching.
No running today, my hamstring is a little tender and I've had a couple twinges of pain in my left foot. This is oh too familiar.

Friday
Recovery day.
Summary
This week I succeeded in getting my hamstring inflamed. I hope it wasn't a rash decision, but I decided that 2 speed sessions per week is too much. Also, the idea of switching my recovery days from after hard workout to before hard workouts could have played a role in my hamstring breakdown.
