Ran from Wallsburg to Orem with Scott, Brandon, Matt and Brandon. Perfect morning for a run and a great crew to run with.  Started what was supposed to be a tempo at mile 10 but hamstring didn't like that so I backed off after 2 miles. Caught back up with Scott at mile 15 and everyone regrouped. I was planning to just jog it in but the hamstring loosened up a bit so I put in a few more quicker miles with Scott. After we slowed everything was going well until abruptly the lower part of my hamstring seized up and I came to a stop.  I thought I would have to call it day and get ride back but after some stretching I managed to gimp in for the last 2 miles.  I hate runs where I finish and know I did more harm than good.  So it's back to cross-training for several days to see if I can salvage my wussy hamstring.  

Brandon, Dan, Scott and Matt all looked great and even had the energy to tack on another mile while I anxiously was looking for TOU results.  Congrats to everyone who ran the race!  I look forward to reading the race reports.

Last but not least, GO UTES!

Good run man, as for Boston as long as my application gets through I will probably stay with my little bro. I didn't want to respond before the marathon less I jinx it haha.

Sorry about the hamstring Fritz. I hope it comes online soon as I'm really looking forward to seeing you throw down a huge performance at SGM!

Ahhh hopefully just a tiny setback. Hoping for the best.

Thanks guys. I am still assessing the seriousness of the damage done but I am remaining optimistic.

Huge days for all three of you guys yesterday. Nice work!

Kevin, I hope your Boston app goes through. Go Utes!
