Mon 1/14 - PM 55 minutes

Area 51. Somewhat shocking turn of events in the last 24 hours. After spending a good chunk of the afternoon yesterday doing compressions on the upper hamstring on the edge of a chair the right leg felt much better upon waking up in the morning. While not pain-free, much better range of motion and like night and day as compared to yesterday. This got my confidence up and after the warmest day yet of the recent mild spell, it was apparent that the snowpack was gone even in the woods. While there were some icy patches on the trail it was passable and what a pleasure to be off of the mind-numbing road loops. Even had the temerity to do some short pickups on the way in, may have overdone it a bit there but time will tell. To top everything off, got a massage soon after the run ended, which was helpful in dealing with various tight spots and adhesions in the thigh-butt region that I couldn't get to.
