Debated all today whether I should run or let the leg rest one more day. Decided last minute to run a few easy miles. Ran up towards the running store and told myself if I was feeling good then I would go with the club and get 8-10 in but if not then go on my own. My leg took awhile to warm up, no pain but my left leg just felt heavy (i think i need another hip adjustment) as well as the rest of my body. I felt like a hippopotamus out there trying to run! Stopped at old mcdonalds to use the restroom, felt a little lighter after that but not much. So an easy 4 is all I got but its better than nothing and i didnt over due on the leg. I plan on getting back at it tomorrow doing 10 easy and then around 12-15 easy on sat.
Went and picked up a rx for a strong anti inflammatory that helped my leg alot last time this happened last spring. I am now debating whether I should run the spectrum 10k, after it last year is when my hamstring started acting up and then it was good all summer. Then after the SC half which is virtually the same course it started acting up again. I think its the steep downhill then beats it up. |
