ironannekidd - 2010-04-22 8:00 AM I hurt my hamstring. It has been bothering me for awhile now, but the past few days it has gotten worse. I couldn't run last night.

I got not quite a mile down the road and it was locked up so tight I could barely walk. My husband was on his way home, he stopped and picked me up. I rolled it on the foam roller last night, did some stretches, soaked in a hot bath for awhile. It is still really tight and sore this morning.

I thought about bringing my hot pad into work and using it, but I didn't. I do have the heater under my desk running though.

Right now my only plan is to finish in Pittsburgh, even if I have to walk it. After that I will reevaluate and take some time off if necessary. I don't care about Black Bear, my main goal for the season is the Marine Corps Marathon. I need to be healthy to start training for that in a few weeks.

Any thoughts of seeing anyone about it?

I don't know. I like my primary doctor, but I highly doubt she will have any good recommendations. She may refer me to a specialist but it could take forever to get in there.

I'm not a fan of going to the doctor's. I usually only do it for illnesses or broken bones, not minor injuries.

kns57 - 2010-04-22 8:32 AM Hello Ghoulies!  I have not disappeared and gone to the nether regions.  Simply crazy at work.  The Library is getting ready to change hours again this weekend.  Back to 7 days a week, with some weird days (Wed 1-8 and Fri 10-3) thrown in there.  So, getting the schedule set up, new staff being trained (1/3 of my staff is new to either the system or my branch) and throw in a Rotary conference, my life has been upsidedown!

My son-in-law has deployed to Saudi Arabia, so my daughter is home alone with her four kids (ages 6,5,2 & 1) in California. Three thousand miles away from me so I don't feel like I'm much help to her at all.  Aaarrrgh!
