The pulled right hamstring feels much better today - in fact, oddly, it felt better yesterday after I used the walk-behind mower for an hour and a half, and it's better still today. It's not good enough to run on yet, though, so I rode a fairly-hard 7 miles on the park's paved trails. That is really quite enjoyable - I want to keep running, but bike riding certainly is an acceptable alternative when running fails.
Today I rode a 3.53-mile figure-8 route twice, once in each direction, for 7.06 miles in 33:20, pace 4.72 min/mi, or 12.7 mph. This was hard work but thoroughly enjoyable, and I could have kept going. Splits: 16:48 lap 1, 16:32 lap 2. After finishing I did keep riding to fill out the 40 minutes that my sweeties and I had agreed upon.
Except for the hamstring, it's a masterpiece!
