My hamstring on my left leg has been sore all day. I am not sure why, but I asked some of the other runners at work if I should be concerned (usually I wouldn’t mention it). Everyone I talked to was telling me that it’s best not to push a hamstring. When I left work I was convinced it would be ok, and that I would run (yes, ignoring their advice).
One thing was sticking in the back of my mind though. What if I pulled it badly and couldn’t run when I stopped smoking. I would still quit for sure, but I am counting on running to keep me motivated when things are rough, and to lose that now would be a big blow to my plan.
And then the sky decided it all for me. It started pouring. Eh, an off day isn’t so bad. I washed the dishes and ran the vacuum. Tomorrow I will run. A light 30 minutes.
Saturday is a big day, I want to do a 4 miler, and I am not missing that mileage bump by being laid up.
