1:25:40 (7:53/mi) Ran with Preston on the Foothills trail. Felt great for most of the run. Preston told me some great stories of Boston this year and we had a lot of laughs. Hamstring was symptom-free for a 1/8 of a mile and then I felt it stretch a little longer, then it felt a little sore. As the run progressed, the soreness diminished, but was still present. Around 10 miles, the soreness started to increase. That's when I started thinking to myself that this would be the ideal time to stop, but we still had 2 miles left. I thought I could just cruise in to finish the 12 miler. WRONG! Shortly afterwards, I felt a shock of pain in the hamstring that brought me to a stop. I had to walk the rest of the way. Preston was kind enough to walk with me. By the time I drove home, the hamstring felt a lot better. Not near to as stiff as I expected. Taking advice from Scott, I worked the hamstring with my foam roller. Tomorrow, I will attempt to run. If pain develops, I'll just walk a couple of miles instead. |
