If anyone really gives a hoot I have been laying low for a while and trying to get my hamstring to heal up. The first week of Oct. I took off and did no exercising or running at all. The last 2 weeks I have been hitting the Nordic Track 5-6 days a week, with upper body weight training. My hamstring was feeling good the past week. My goal today was to do a 2 mile run at a very easy pace, by the time I went a block the old hamstring started hurting again. Needlesss to say I am desappionted that this just dos'nt want to let go and get better. I am thinking of a cortazone shot maybe that will help. I did 10 min. on he eliptical after my 2 miler which took 22 min. and some change. I also did 20 min. of upper body weight training. Tomorrow I will go back to the eliptical. Oh well.

There's nothing wrong with allowing your body to fully heal. Paul took almost a year off due to injury and came back with an OTQ. Have you tried massage?

Hi! Nice to meet ya! Those are some great goals you have, nice job doing 3 marathons. As for your hamstring, how often do you stretch? Have you tried a low intensity Yoga or Tai Chi?

Thanks for the encourgement. I am strecthing and useing ice a few times a day. I have never done any Yoga or Tai Chi. It's hard to get this old body to bend in weird shapes.
