Pain in my hamstring

Now that I’m back at it again I feel some muscle pain. I am stretching before I run and even more after my run. It seems no matter what exercise that I may be doing my right leg hamstring hurts more than the left. I must have damaged it when I was in the military. It’s not bad enough to see a doctor about but I’ll definetely keep an eye on it with the increasing miles I put on it. I don’t feel pain while running so I don’t think it is serious. The last thing I want to do is damage my hamstring and not be able to run the marathon I am training for.

 

Pain all over

My first day is done and I feel it all over my body. I ran for approximately 25 minutes and averaged 8 minute miles. I wasn’t trying to beat any records and just wanted to make sure I felt the run. It really felt good knowing that I was running with a goal in mind. Don’t get me wrong I’ve ran in the past but it was with the purpose of getting in shape and trying to stay cardio healthy. To be honest I’ve never really enjoyed running or any cardio for that matter. I did make it to the half priced books today in Lynnwood but I couldn’t find Daniels’ Running Formula. So I went to Barnes & Noble and found it but I think I’ll end up buying it on Amazon.com. I am sore all over but its not horrible by any means. Its kind of like ooh I forgot I had that muscle. I know all you die hards out there are laughing at my so called training but hey I don’t want to injure myself. One run at a time…
