PT with Robert. He worked on my hamstring and needled my left glute, which still hasn't healed from an injury in the late summer.

Notes from the appointment:
1) resisted hamstring curl w theraband w emphasis on slow and smooth lowering

alternate this w

2) bridge walk out- 12-15 rep at three positions total.

This will eventually come to( in 10-14days)

3) bench bridge double leg

Also, its fine to engage the muscles outside of the plane of the hamstring w things like clams, resisted side stepping/side leg raises , side planks etc

Elliptical in the morning.

Event: WCOC Ansonia Nature Center--NRE
 

After walking Inara and Barney around the white course, I tried warming up and starting on Red. After about a minute of running it was clear that my hamstring was not going to cooperate, so I walked right back to the start, dejected. I love ansonia, I love middle distance, and I think Joe is a great course setter, so I really hoped to give this a try, but it didn't work out. Still nice to be out, see a lot of friends, and walk White with Inara.

Hamstring exercises

I went out for a long run in Rock Creek on this beautiful morning. Was feeling decent, if not strong, and legs got looser as the run went. About an hour in, I caught my toe on a rock while checking work email. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but ten minutes later my right hamstring tightened up significantly. I stopped to stretch and tried to jog again, but it was not happening. Walked back, and am icing now. The hamstring is quite sore. Any racing this weekend at Ansonia and next weekend at the Stumble is very much in doubt. :(
