getting the hamstring back to 100%.

So my Prowler experiment went well. I wanted to see if I did
10 days in a row of 10 trips of Prowler if I could get back into "Prowler
condition". Meaning, 1:00 rest between sprints. The answer is yes. Technically
I did 10 of 11 days as I took one day off. This was a much faster method for me
than doing 1-2 times per week which would have taken me 4-6 weeks to get back
into condition. I didn't really do any lifting during this time and didn't miss
it. Having said that, once I get back from the next week of traveling I am
excited to get started with one of the new challenges.
My experiment was really threefold; first to see if this
method of Prowler immersion would work; to get some work in before being off
for a week; and to get into condition for moving into the challenges.
