Apparently I should have done intervals or a shortest distance while trying out a 189 cadence. I felt fine until yesterday evening, I started to feel... dun dun dun.. my left hamstring get tighter. I didn't think a lot of it. As a precaution, I moved my rest day to today (Wednesday) in hopes of getting ahead of it. I wake up today, and it is worse. Blah.
I was sat too much today I guess, because once I started walking for the CTA, I couldn't even do more than barely shuffle that leg like a zombie... Depressing.
I am kinda bummed that this happened when I wasn't even doing anything that ambitious, but at least I don't have to worry about missing any training days. I'm trying to stick with light stretching and foam rolling, and keeping from staying in a seated position helps loosen it up.
I have my doctor's appointment tomorrow for just a yearly check up, but I'll just toss him my complaints while they are nagging me.
Back on bench until I can at least walk normally! I really hope this is just a bad cramp or something. I really don't want to go back to PT already.
Hopefully tomorrow I can say, oh it was just a short thing and I'm feeling a lot better, but as this is basically my running journal, I had to put this down.
No worries on comments today! Crossing my fingers now for some break in the rain tomorrow for trick or treating!
Raining here all day, going to be a wet trick or treat...
ReplyDeleteThe rain is depressing...
ReplyDeleteHope the leg feels better!
Forest Gump metions by both you and Mike today....one would almost think the two of you planned that ;)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about the hamstring pain. But you are smart for going back to the bench to let things heal up. I am glad that you have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, even if just for a check-up. And you don't have any races coming up in the near future, yes? Assuming so, you can take all the time you need to heal!
ReplyDeleteHamstrings are the worst. I hope it clears up fast and you're back to running soon. At least the weather is awful and you're not missing a beautiful run day!
ReplyDeleteAww man! I hope the doc had some good insight for you!
ReplyDeleteHope it went well! I haven't read blogs in a few days! i hope i don't lose my membership yet
ReplyDeleteSlowly it is! hate slow...
ReplyDeleteI have to check out his blog! its not like we texted over topics or anything... ;)
ReplyDeleteNo races to pressure me! it is hard to take time off, as it has become more than an exercise to me, when I miss it, i just feel dumpy all day!
ReplyDeleteThey are! there is no compensating for it or trying to run through it, bleh! day by day.
ReplyDeleteDoc was more concerned for my chest issue! Stay tuned !
