My favorite river woods loop.  It took me 70 minutes to do this.  I ran 9 minutes, then walked 1.  My hamstring is ruined.  Even after all these months of rehab,  plasma surgery, stretching, elliptical work out and strenght training.  It's fried. Whenever I tried to put a little speed in it, I felt like my leg would hit the ground and give out. That hip ligament tear has been weird.  The only thing I notice now is when I go down stairs or jump off a rock, any forceful step down--will cause my leg to collapse.  So while I'm running, I'm afraid that if I hit my foot wrong, I'm going down.  Good news is, doing intervals on the elliptical have kept my cardio vascular health in great shape. I walk now probably 25 miles a week on top of really intense interval elliptical work outs.  I think I've got the hypoglycemia under control:  but I've also given up meat and milk and caffine. I'd like to give up sugar too.  So the intense weakness could have been one of those things too.  I don't know. The endocrinologist wants me to have my gall bladder out.  She says that's what's making me so sick.  But now I don't eat milk or very much meat, I feel better.  Anyway, so good to get outside and give running/wogging a small try.  Beautiful early June morning.
