Two days ago I decided to run a couple of miles at the gym after work. I did one mile and was feeling good so I sped up the pace. Suddenly I felt a twinge in my left hamstring. I stop the wheel and stretched and stupidly hopped back on. After about another minute I felt the hamstring tighten again and then a sharp pain. I jumped off immediately but I am afraid the damage was done. I definitely don't think it is torn but I am sure I won't be able to run for awhile. This isn't the first time I have done this so I am getting better at the rehab, i.e. stretch, roller, ice, heat (jet in hot tub), cross train (eliptical, stairstepper, bike, rowing), and NO RUNNING. Today I did a great workout at the gym, as defined by sweat output. 1 hour spin class, 30 mins on the eliptical, 3 mins on the rowing maching, 20 mins of lifting, stretching and core. The hamstring is feeling better but I am not going to attempt to run until at least Wednesday.
