I'm considering having to DNS for the Ogden Marathon on Saturday. A pain in my right leg while walking on Saturday was still there on a short walk on Sunday. However, as time goes on - I think I have isolated it as not belonging to the hamstring but up in the old Gluteus Maximum area. I have scheduled a deep tissue massage with my favorite massage therapist for tonight (thanks, Leslie!). I am also resting for a day or two. After talking with my sister, I am also trying to find a chiropractor here in Sandy and get in to one in the next day or two. I have a feeling this injury might be a result of my faceplant on Friday evening. It was pretty jarring to my entire body and I got up and ran an additional 3.5 miles after the fall. Then, 13 hours later I ran the same trail (and then some again) and wrenched my right ankle after a mile and might have been favoring that side of my body. I'd curl up in a fetal position and suck my thumb - but that would probably put more stress on the injured area. /**********************/ I did not get drawn in the St. George Lottery. That puts pressure on me to run the Grand Slam if I want to do St. George this fall. Waaaaaaah!
