On Friday, while chasing the dog, I tried running a little faster than I should have, and for the first time in my life, experienced some type of "hamstring pull".
Minor.
I checked in with my chiropractor in Toronto, Dr. Michael Sommers (www.EvolveChiropractic.com) and he gave me some tips...
...and it's 80% better today. I'll reveal all the tips in a future article. Made a huge difference.
Fortunately, today's workout was 90% upper body.

Then I had a milkshake with my dad. It wasn't very good, but the company was.
Dog walking time now,
