AM: 7 miles easy

My hanstring still feels like crap this morning--inexplicably sore. I get little hotspots like this from time to time, so I'm just going to wait to out, which is the usual remedy.

I want to be sure it feels better before I race in the morning. I feel it the most when I stop and start running, so I suppose one solution is just to keep running wihout stopping. I'm going to heat and ice it when I get home tonight, and I might even ice today at work. This could be logistically difficult, what with the company policy that requires us to wear pants and all.

That, and for some reason I haven't slept well this week. Usually, I jump out of bed in the morning, hungry to take on the world, but for almost every day this week, all I've wanted to do it crawl back into bed.
