     Hamstring/glute still a little sore today so I just did a short easy run. I went 5 miles and felt a slight burn throughout the run but I haven't felt anything from it since the run. It seems odd that I'm having to deal with injuries now while I've barely been running. All I can figure is that it must have to do with some of the other activities I've been doing that my body isn't used to [snowmobiling, basketball, or skiing]. It all seemed to start 2 weeks ago after the snowmobiling weekend. 9:25 AP

I know you didn't list all of the "other activities" ... and I know why! You didn't want to rub it in..:-(

Sorry for the sorness, I'd hate for you to have to stop all those "other activities"!

Na can't stop those other activities. Just have to do them more and get in shape for them too:-) Good thing I don't plan on any races for a while

It was golf for me, had a bad day, got a sore back and haven't played a round since. Almost 4 years now, best 4 years of my life.
