I had a great 21 mile run this morning with Fritz and Walter.

Met at my house at 8 AM and ran a little over 10 miles up Emigration Canyon. We had a pretty good pace going and averaged under 7:30 pace going up. We ended up running 21 miles in 2:27 and did quite a few 6 minute miles coming back down.

My right hamstring isn't getting any worse, but it isn't getting any better. Slightly troubling.

Is Emigration canyon the one Des News marathon comes down?

Jon- yep. Goes into Salt Lake by the U and the zoo.

Thanks for the run Rob. A super big guy was hogging the good jet in the hot tub. I thought people knew it was reserved. Maybe you will have better luck.

The jet and a roller are what I would prescribe for the hamstring. Do you want to try out my Trigger Point Roller? It's firm enough that it can dig into hamstrings. I could drop it off this afternoon.

Yeah, I would like to try that out Fritz. No rush though.

Good running Rob. My cure for a hamstring problem is more ice cream. Tell Anne I said its ok to load up the freezer! The kids will appreciate it, too :-)
