Replaced hydraulic line damaged on the backhoe when I pulled out a stump yesterday, spraying fluid all around. Also put in a new coupling on the front loader line where a leak had developed.

Following advice of trainer and masseuse/therapist and skipping the runs for awhile. Already going crazy with energy build up, so to the gym to do something useful without power or impact.

Rolling and stretching. Then band resistance on the legs targeting hip flexors, glutes and hamstrings. Leg swings, steps ups, glute bridges.

On the elliptical and another version of the same, then ski erg for 2000 m (9.14), for 20 min of aerobic exercise.

Finally more stretching of the hamstrings and glutes with a strap. And various stiff person yoga stretches.

Lots of leg work today and no arms, as that was yesterday.

Hamstring may be worthy of easy o-training this evening with Phil.

Masseuse said absolutely no running tonight, so passed on the O-training.

Hike to the top of the Lost Mine Trail to build a stone bench memorial. Crew of 5 dug out a slab and pried it into position with view towards Mt Ascutney.

Hamstring felt great last evening after all the rolling. A little tight today.
