My hamstrings are still sore from Monday's leg workout and it hurts a bit when I walk.. I worked out my upper body yesterday so I cant work that out today. I was planning on running today but don't think its a good idea since it hurts when I walk and when i touch my hamstrings they hurt. Should I still workout today or should I rest?

I'd consider doing some active recovery. Walking, stretching, mobility.0

DOMS is very common when working out, I would recommend continuing with your routine unless it is unbearable.
If it is unbearable then stretching, light exercise would help warm up the muscles and usually mid-way of the workout you don't feel the pain as much.
Good luck!0
