right hamstring pain

Lots of volunteers and cops along the race course at the drink stations and controlling traffic, I tried to thank them all as I ran past

Sue,

Awesome job today. Good for you - 22 miles! You are going to do great at the Shamrock!!

That was a nice course, but I can't believe they messed up the distance.

Continued safe training to you!

Great race Sue!!  I considered my 1/2 mile walk from the parking lot to the start line warm up!!    NOT 9 miles of running before the race!!         You're amazing!!

 I guess we're both icing the hams tonight.  I'm reduced to a limp now.   Hope yours feels better soon.
