7 miles moderate

I thought of adding a groin stretch to my daily stretching routine in a further attempt to battle the hamstring problem, and by the afternoon I thought I would have another go at my usual 7-mile route via Maryhill Road and Garscube Estate. It seemed to go well enough, even without heat spray, and the tightness only started to bother me after mile 5. I was still able to drive my average pace below 6:30/mile in the closing stages and finished in 45:19 for a 6:28 average, although I felt very slow.
