Light progression to test out the hammy. After an easy 4 miles, I went 6:34, 6:22, 5:54. The hammy feels a little tight, like a sore muscle, but nothing too concerning. I'm going to hold back from going all out still, but a couple more runs like this and I hope to be good to go.

8 easy, 7:26 avg. Got out late and caught the worst of the snowstorm. I love running in the snow, especially at night.

AM - 1 hr cycling w/ 3 x 8 min Threshold intervals (2:00 rests). Hoping to get a short run in tonight. I think the hammy is 100% finally.

8 w/ 1.5 at roughly MP. I'd planned on 3 miles, but I started feeling needles in the hammy and pulled the plug. ~6:15 avg for MP, and 7:12 avg overall.

5 easy, 7:42 avg. Something was acting up in my lower back over my glute. Maybe sciatic nerve?
