Frustrating day. Although my legs were fine after yesterday's mileage and walking around Seattle a bit in the evening, when I left on my run my right hamstring felt like it was frozen. I stayed in Seattle and had been excited about getting in some good flat mileage on the Burke Gilman trail, so that added to my frustration. I walked for awhile to warm up, which helped a bit, but a mile in to actual running I realized I was forcing something that wasn't there. So I headed back very slowly and spent time stretching. So something is aggravated or inflamed. I have a feeling my lower back is off just enough to pull on my hamstring, since only only leg has this problem, and it's definitely a muscle issue. Maybe it'll loosen up tomorrow morning, but I'm planning to see a chiropractor as soon as possible. Nice job in WBR guys, wish I could have been there. Northwest Passage next summer, right?
