Best 1K & The Best Hamstring Stretch Ever

• Today I ran my best 1 km so far. In 5.34 seconds. 
• Walked the rest of the way home at a gingerly pace. 
• Pain under the knee is still there. Just a hint of it. But it is there.
• Realised during the past few days that the pain has nothing to do with the knee but to do with the hamstring becoming tight.
• Pain vanishes when I do hamstring and calf stretches.
• Discovered two very effective stretches for the hamstring.
• One is from VKS Iyengar. Utthita Parsvattanasana. Here is an online link
• Good old halasana also helps a lot. 
• But this is certainly the best hamstring stretch ever.
• Benefitted tremendously from that youtube video. While, the asanas are good and gives you a lot of immediate relief and also when you are doing it, the video sort of produces a more long lasting effect. 
• What I have is perhaps a knee bursitis. I hope it does not escalate into anything bigger. 
• Looking forward to the rest during the puja vacation week when I am going to Chhattisgarh.
