Honolulu, HI: Typical morning out here low 70's and humid.  I felt pretty good this morning.  A little tired from the trip but legs felt good.  Ran real easy trying to get used to the distance again. I had some tightness in the hamstring so slowed down even more and took it real easy.  That seemed to help and had no more problems.  Just thankful to get in a normal run.  Hopefully, I can keep the hamstring from having any more problems.

Way to take it easy and listen to your body.That seems like it's the hardest thing to do when your coming back from an injury when do you push it and when do you back off and give it a rest.

Thanks! It is hard to hold back and not jump right back into training but trying to be smarter in my old age. Ha
