long time no blog
it’s been awhile since i’ve made the time to update my blog so this is my effort to catch up. last week i mustered 40 miles off of daily 5 to 7 mile efforts. nothing speedy…just putting in miles.
i went out for a run on father’s day afternoon and my left hamstring pulled on me. i stretched a bit and hobbled home pretty dissapointed.
the next morning i ran with compression shorts and mustered a slow 6 miles. i ran again with the compression shorts on tuesday for 7 miles and was moving a bit faster. i didn’t get out for a run on wednesday or thursday but headed out this morning for an easy 5 miles – wearing regular running shorts. my left hamstring really acted up at 2.5 miles and at 4.5 miles which was not the way i was expecting to start the day.
regardless, the good news is that the tendonitis that i was feeling in my right achilles tendon is easing off. i’ll likely take some time off from running and let the hamstring heal up a bit. perhaps i’ll do some "core" stuff that i’ve been meaning to do for quite some time. in the end, i want to get the hammy back so that i can race again in the fall.
