Injuries

Looks like I get some time off of running. The hamstring (left) and the quad insertion (right) are not as bad as they were, but they are tight. Talked to coach today and my training for IM Louisville doesn't start in earnest for a few more weeks so we are taking a break from running to allow the legs to heal up. I will continue to march and practice form so when I do run again, I will run more properly. So for now here I go swimming and biking away. 

The psychological blow is pretty devastating.

  1. You'll be all good... You CAN still bike & run! You still for yoga?

  2. Yes I have been doing Yoga every weekday morning. The stretches feel good and it is not hurting as much as I go into and out of poses. My leg currently isn't hurting, but let me get 5 miles in or let me loose just a little form and pow, there goes the hamstring or I pull the insertion. I know Yoga isn't about how far you can stretch, but I am to the point I can get my hands to the floor. I can not get my head to my knees yet, but I am close. I do a lot of hip openers. We are going to start doing shorter more intense morning workouts to get my form solid there too. Once I do that then we are going to start some Power and Strength workouts to increase my core since that seems to be my weakest link.
