On Thanksgiving Day I was playing football and pulled my hamstring, so I have not been able to run since then. I did bike with Blake on Satruday morning though.

This morning it feels a lot better, but still not ready to run on. It was too dark to bike outside, so I broke out the bike trainer and cylcled for about 20 minutes, then jumped rope for 10 minutes, then another 20 on the bike, followed by 10 more with the jump rope.

Same workout as yesterday. Total of 40 minutes on the bike trainer and 20 minutes jumping rope.

My hammy feels much better this morning. Good enough, that the old me would have gone out and tried to run. The older wiser me is trying to be more patient and make sure I'm not going to re-injure myself when I run again.

Still not running today.  I did about an hour of jumping, plyometrics, core, etc. Just a good cardio burn. I did a few bounding exercises to test the hammy. If I could have run today, it would have had to have been really slow and easy.  Maybe I'll test it out a bit more tomorrow as it will have been a full week since I hurt it.

There was a nice misty rain going this morning making me want to get out and run, so I laced up the shoes and headed out to see how the hammy would hold up. I started nice and easy and while I could tell I would not be able to run fast, it wasn't really bothering me...until about halfway through the 3rd mile I started to get a little pain so I immediately stopped running and walked in the last mile and a half. 

I guess I am mildly dissapointed, but I don't think I caused any damage.  I'll just have to wait a few more days and hopefully be running 100% next week.

20 minutes jumping rope as I waited for the sun to rise enough to get out on the streets on my bike. 

1 hour 23 minute bike ride pushing hard.

It felt good to get outside and ride hard this morning.  I am really craving a good run though. Hopefully next week.

1 hour 23 minute bike ride with Blake followed by 30 minutes jumping rope.  It was nice to get out and ride and talk with Blake. Very therapeutic.
