I've been running since I was a 7th grader in 1988. At Washington High School (Parkland, WA), I ran on the cross country team and did the 800m, 1600m, and 3200m in track and field.
In college, a hamstring injury and IT band pain ended my college competitive racing almost before it began. With the help of my cousin, Preston, who was in Physical Therapy School, my injuries healed and I began running again.
In the 2000's my goals shifted to attaining a BQ. After making nearly every mistake possible in the marathon, I finally BQ'd and then ran Boston in 2010.
Personal Records:
1600m: 4:31 (1992)
Marathon: 3:09:41 (2012)
Short-Term Running Goals:
Get my body weight below 180 lbs
Race a sub-40 10k
Consistently run 40+ miles/week
Long-Term Running Goals:
Sub 3 hour marathon PR
Race a sub 5 minute mile... one more time! (Last time I did it was when I was a teenager.)
Right hamstring is a little sore, but nothing like the DOMS that usually happen after an all-out race. I jogged to my car in the church parking lot and could feel that running today would be counter-productive. I'll go for a walk instead.
Weight: 0.00

Good call. Give that ham a rest and get over it. Make sure you do the roller, though!

I've heard hamstring injuries are the worst. I'm hoping you get it fixed soon, I really want to see you in full training mode!

Yeah, come on Carl. I have lots more time to read blogs now that I'm not doing anything to blog about for a while :)

Yeah, I've been wondering where you've been, too. I was hoping your hamstring wasn't keeping you away all this time.
