Ignored trainers' advice and went for a run on the Earl's Trails green course. Just jogged the flats and walked up hills. Lots of trail time, using the little bike trails to jump from point to point.
Nice day, good map and course. No errors at relaxed pace. Felt good except for the drive home where the hamstring had an annoying ache.

Note
Replaced hydraulic line damaged on the backhoe when I pulled out a stump yesterday, spraying fluid all around. Also put in a new coupling on the front loader line where a leak had developed.
Following advice of trainer and masseuse/therapist and skipping the runs for awhile. Already going crazy with energy build up, so to the gym to do something useful without power or impact.
Rolling and stretching. Then band resistance on the legs targeting hip flexors, glutes and hamstrings. Leg swings, steps ups, glute bridges.
On the elliptical and another version of the same, then ski erg for 2000 m (9.14), for 20 min of aerobic exercise.
Finally more stretching of the hamstrings and glutes with a strap. And various stiff person yoga stretches.
Lots of leg work today and no arms, as that was yesterday.
Rolling and stretching. Then upper body and core, 2 sets V-ups, rows 30#db, L-sits 30 sec, db presses on ball, planks on ball 1 min, torsional iso Pull ups 2 x 10
Hamstring may be worthy of easy o-training this evening with Phil.

Note
Masseuse said absolutely no running tonight, so passed on the O-training.
