As the cliché goes, I'm taking a step forward but not sure if two steps back will soon follow. The ortho specialist has referred me to see a massage therapist to straighten out this hamstring injury. He said I should be looking at four months off of running. Considering I have only laced up the shoes for one easy 5K since the marathon, I'm hoping to be out soon. But I need this massage expert to give me some more expert advice. I can't wait to start running again. I'm thinking of just doing half marathons in the upcoming season and build my base slowly this time. There is nothing fun about nagging injuries. My one fear now is that I'm favouring the leg too much and any hint of injury I'm taking too serious. Let's be serious, it's almost been four months off of running, nothing should take this long to heal.
Lisa got me a gift certificate for Christmas to the Running Room and I plan to put it to good use soon.
