I was planning to get out on my bike but I hate riding in the cold so I hit up the gym again.  1 hour on the stairstepper (450 floors), 30 mins eliptical, 15 mins core and strength, and 5 mins stretching and hot tub. 

Maybe I overestimated the injury but my hamstring is feeling MUCH better already.  Now I think I will be able to test it out running in just a couple of days.

Wednesday should be interesting because I am racing in a bike criterium at the DMV.  I just hope I don't break my collar bone again like I did in August.  Should be a good workout and lots of fun!  Bring on the Roadies!

Thanks for the comment. I have been told the elliptical provides the closest thing to running with zero impact. Like you, my injury is relatively minor but a relapse would not be good. Good luck and I hope we both get back out on the road soon!
