I went
out for a trial run on Wednesday morning and had to quit early. I skipped
running on Thursday and went for a bike ride instead. Friday I did another
short easy run and made a mile before my hamstring complained. I was getting
better but decided to scratch my long runs, call this week "recovery week 16
bis", and start over on Monday, June 1.</p>
<p>Today, Sunday, I hiked with my family up Lory State Park's Timber Trail to
check out the backcountry camping sites. While they continued to Arthur's Rock
trailhead, I ran back down Timber Trail to the car so I could drive around and
pick them up. My hamstring felt much better, so I'm optimistic that I can get
back on track next week.</p>
