The colour of this photograph perfectly illustrates my mood. I’ve only run once in the last week and only because I thought I was healed. I’ve done something to the back of my left thigh. Last Sunday I found walking was difficult, I was sort of limping and had to really concentrate to lift my leg over the curb. Luckily I spent the whole day in the car so not much was required. Monday I was in the car as well. By Tuesday I felt a whole lot better. On Wednesday the pain was gone so I decided I could go to the running clinic. We ran 5k in 25 minutes it felt really good.
Yesterday afternoon the familiar ache came back it's not really painful just debilitating. I feel it is better to rest because I don't want to wreck myself permanently the other thing is my left leg is the one I broke, while skiing, seven years ago. I broke my tibia in two places. It’s called a spiral fracture. The orthopedic surgeon put a titanium rod down the middle of the bone to fix it. I was wondering if this had anything to do with my problem?
According to these pages there are many things I could have done to myself to cause the aching pain. I'm leaning towards pulled hamstring muscle. The good news is I can still run. I just have to take shorter steps and go slower and stretch more. A bit of a bummer since I like to be out in front,
