What a difference that hamstring pull made

 Just quickly - has been a struggle to NOT run and only bike/walk/workout/elliptical.  I re-injured the healing hamstring a week after the event trying to speed up.  Now i'm having trouble running even 9:30 miles


Recovery

I'm not taking ibuprofen, but I am icing nightly.  today when I intended to run 5 miles through Atherton it began to hurt after my warmup of about 1 mile. But the time I was turning on Valota it was feeling odd/painnful. By the time I crossed woodside (where I SHOULD HAVE TURNED LEFT AND HEADED HOME) it had become increasingly sore.  I ran one block, cut through the emersion spanish school, and back down Selby to oakwood and basically walked back. 

Maybe another week?
