Decent run this morning. Felt Saturday's long run a bit. Also, a slight tightness in my left hamstring. It's just a matter of building my fitness back up.

Glad to hear you are feeling better. Don't worry you'll bounce back quick. Just remember, if you are feeling lowsy don't push too hard. I think I pushed a little too hard after my own 10 day hiatus and it was at the end of a 7 day, 60 mile stint that my achilles busted :(. Though I think you monitor yourself really well just given your entry setups. Keep up the good work and you'll get your PR AND Boston Qualifier! :)

Thanks for the note, Benn. It's frustrating to have a setback but I suppose it's part of "the game". For me the most frustrating aspect is the feeling that my previous training has been "lost" with to tangible benefit.

Good luck with your recovery.
