| I've been resting my left hamstring, and this is my first run in about two weeks. Still felt some pulling on one of the medial hamstring muscles as I swing leg forward and all the way up into glute on hills.
Back to massage therapist today for my third "cross-frictional" massage - basically, find where it hurts, poke it, and rub back and forth. Medial hamstring was a frozen rope. Massaged loosened it up a lot. Therapist recommended epson salt bath. Took my first bath in probably 10 years!
Not feeling the desire to run, so resting hasn't been that bad.

| 3 miles easy on same route as yesterday. Big improvement in the hamstring overnight. Tightness from medial head virtually gone in the leg swing. Some remaining tightness in attachment point at glute.
Yoga for Runners Intermediate Program DVD. Noticed a lot of tightness in groin. Range of motion in hamstring is the same (good) as always, even though I feel the tightness.
Epson salt bath.
Dr. tomorrow to see if I am on the right track.

| I went to the doctor today. He did an ultrasound of my hamstring. My sore spot is in the medial head about half way down the leg. On the ultrasound, the healthy muscle fibers looked like rake marks in the sand. On my sore spot, there were anomalies where the fibers looked like a knot in tree bark (probably scar tissue from a strain). My doctor said that my injury is minor in the scheme of hamstring injuries, but his recommendation was complete rest. No running, no yoga, no weights until I feel no pain. And then I can go back to running very slowly. In the meantime, he said to foam roll quads, hamstrings, groin, and IT band 2 or 3 times a day. And I could try cycling as long as it didn't hurt the hamstring. He recommended active-release therapy, which I am doing tomorrow. The therapist I chose is a local elite here in San Diego, so I'm really looking forward to hearing his advice

| Had my active release therapy appointment today, and it was totally amazing! However, everything is wrong with me between the feet and the hips, LOL! Hamstring issue likely caused by long time tight lower back and tilting hips or something close to that. Cleared for spinning.
