Hamstring?

True to form, if I'm not blogging it's usually because I'm not running, and therefore have nothing to blog about. I've run once in the past six weeks - t he 1/2 marathon four weeks ago. Following that race my right leg was fairly sore but so were my calf muscles so I took a couple of days off. The tenderness in my calf muscles went away but not the tightness along the hamstring of my right leg and across the gluteus. So I took a week off, then another. Then finally last week it was much better and I thought I might be able to run soon. Then I tripped over my feet and stretched the darned thing out, putting me right back where I'd started from. I've given up on trying to hang on to the fitness I had and have resigned myself to starting over when this thing has finally run it's course. Which sucks.

Maybe a few more days and I'll be running again. My 1/2 in January though won't be anything to write home about.
