The tendon, deep in my thigh has been really giving me trouble. It's not bad with Ibuprofen, but it takes me 2 miles to warm it up to where I can run with any normal form. I ran the Cliff Walk trail behind the mansions in Newport. It's a beautiful walking trail, about 40 feet above the ocean, along the back side of the huge mansions owned by the Vanderbuilt's, Astors, Sinclair's, etc. It's gets a little rough running the trail because a few miles in the trail turns to trail/rocks. But the whole thing is along the ocean. So it's beautiful. I always have these amazing conversations along those runs with my East coast running friends. I ran so carefully, and only did a few miles (10 m/m). I hope the running gods are appeased by my 'taking it easy' so I don't further aggravte the injury. I'm worried about it.

I am so sorry to hear that you are hurt. You are smart to take it easy. It sounds like you are having a wonderful vacation!

Try to massage the area as hard as you can and ice after your runs. If needed borrow a rolling pin to roll out the quad.

You are doing exactly right...I'll appease the running god in my house with the type of cookies he likes and distract him from reading blogs. Actually Sasha isn't into people running like crazy through an injury. I think his advice is to slow down and try to run through it best you can.I'm so sorry you are in pain.

Thank you guys for these suggestions. I will probably be getting a massage today, and have already added the ice/heat, rolling pin, stretching into this morning's routine. I havn't had an injury for about 2 years. It must be time for a new kind of running-lesson.
