Pain: A little more burning, and hard to sit normally periods this week than last week, but always okay with foot up. So as far as pain, it seems to be going downhill, but the strength training level is getting reasonably high, and will only be going up a little higher over the next month. Some of my exercises were not even easy for Speedy. So perhaps if my leg gets tough enough to do these with on/off mild pain/burn, a slow ramp up of running will so gentle, relatively, that my leg won't notice?

9AM: ramping up...
MidN: ramping up. Details:
Stretches + Hip/Ankle
(15+15+15)x100% ecc. hams
8x5sec 2-leg bridge
(15+15+7)x2-leg bridge-on-ball roll back-forth
(15+15+7)xeach-single-leg bridges (no hold)
no Prone Plank (resting neck)
(15+15+15e) Pelvic tilt back running
(15+15+15) Good Mornings [maxed this out yesterday and am holding steady - may find a bar to add or something after holding for a few days.]

1x long PT ramping up.
- Morning only - first time I missed 2x/day since July 17 (and that was due to a stiff neck). But _some_ variety/rest is probably okay, and possibly good, esp. to help rest the slow increase in inflamation this week.

2x long PT ramping up.

Pain: Not really much burning any more. Just 'pressure discomfort' like a month ago...

Noticed I'm getting pretty close to the July 11th volume that thrashed my leg then (either that or the running ramp up...)

Just when I think I'm out of the water... Well, it's hard to tell, but my leg seems to be sliding back slightly on the pain measure.

Both this PM, and, if I recall correctly, this AM, the eccentric pulls of the hamstring have begun recreating the burn at the end of the pull again.

Plus, I think for the last 2 or 3 days, the ice-after has seemed necessary to ensure the leg didn't flare up, as opposed to just a good idea. And this PM I wasn't near ice, and I got a little bit of burn.

So now I'm sitting with my L foot up on the chair, okay after icing, but recalling that for at least much of the last few days, I didn't need to do that.

So, I think I'll roll back a few days on workout load and only ramp up 10%/day instead of 10%/workout, at least for the next few days.

Warmup, then fast. Neck stopped this early. (Not bad, but not worth re-aggravating.)

Continuing to ramp 10% per workout
