   10K in Sedona. Just ran around and got lost up in the hills with a bunch of zillion dollar houses in the red rocks. Leg's still good. If anything, my left quad's a little sore from compensating for my right hamstring. Still, first time I went 10K since the injury and feeling great. Good times.

   Leg feels good but I'm still tentative to test it for more than a mile. I feel a little tinge in there when I'm walking upstairs and if I messed it up now, I'd be screwed. Thinking I might just keep doing these milers until August 6th and then I'll just leave it all in Central Park. Because, man, I'd be cursing myself if I hurt it again. But shit. I have a long weekend coming up in Sedona and, God, those miles and miles of red rocks. Argh. Nope. Not gonna do it. (To be honest with you, I'm enjoying this break in intensity. 9 minute runs are easy to plan.)

   I don't feel like running. I want to roam grocery stores and sing songs to young women. My heart is made of fruits and vegetables.

   Only a vague hint of pain remains. In fact, I think it might even be my overactive imagination. I'm taking the leg out for a 5K spin tomorrow. Need at least 20 miles this week.

   Pain is just a remnant of what it was. In fact, said I was going to try 2 miles today but Jenna gave me the stink eye.

     Good for Jenna, though wish you had something else to burn off your energy. JBL loves the rower - says it works his legs, but I think it's all upper body, and heavy cardio...

   Well, I'm still in pain but it's WAYYY better. Today was the first day I wanted to run faster and farther but I forced myself to chill out. I'm not going further than a mile until I have NO sense of pain. But I'm certainly suffering from the 10 minute ... read more

   Well, I'm still in pain but it's WAYYY better. Today was the first day I wanted to run faster and farther but I forced myself to chill out. I'm not going further than a mile until I have NO sense of pain. But I'm certainly suffering from the 10 minute workouts. I'm antsy and can't sleep. I suppose I could try other things. But I just wanna run.

     It blows when something prevents you from running. Your body screams USE ME LIKE I WANNA BE USED. Hope you heal faster and faster.

     I know exactly how you feel. The only thing that would suck worse is...aggravating the injury. Good for you for taking it easy.

    If yesterday's pain was an 8, today's was a 4, so I'm optimistic. I just need to lose the ego for the next couple weeks, take it slow and easy so I'm able to give it my all when I run for Tanner in NYC. When you consider that every 5K is worth 100s of dollars for muscular dystrophy, I'd be a selfish idiot to push myself too hard before August 6th. What? You don't know about my Tanner Run?

      I don't have a lot of injury experience but my best guess is that this is a pulled hamstring. 2 days ago, 2.25 miles into a run. I couldn't continue, limping in pain. Never heard of traumeel but I'll look into it. Right now I'm healing nicely with ice and heat and hot tub soaking.

      Hope you're back to 100% soon -- the ice/heat combo can't do you wrong with an injury like that. Take care and keep healing!
