Rehab visit (sports, not drugs)
As I’ve written about before, I’ve been struggling a bit with my left hamstring for the last 6-7 weeks. I felt pretty good after the Chambersburg Half-Marathon, but could feel some hamstring tightness. I played a bit of 3 person racquetball on Sunday but took it easy, had a complete rest day on Monday, and then ran 5 miles on Tuesday on the treadmill. I felt fine during the run, but immediately after the workout I could feel my hamstring getting tight again and figured this is something that isn’t going away. I made an appointment with a physical therapist (they are super convenient, offices within a mile of my work and home locations) for early Friday morning. Hopefully we can figure out the underlying causes and address them. At this point I’m going to move my “A” priority race from the Lehigh Valley Half-Marathon to a something later, although I will wait until I can train consistently before picking the next goal race.
