Av 11:30 (and who knew it would be so painful, even at that speed).  I ran 6 minutes, walked 1 minute.  I'm not sure trying to run again was a good idea.  The hamstring hurts in the way of bad hurting.  I can not believe it's ending this way.  I would have suspected my knees would give out before my hip ligament and hamstring.  The pain isn't just a tight hamstring--it's the whole hip, and the fear of it giving out on me when I hit my foot at a certain angle. I'm going to do an every other day slow-go-walk-jog for at least 2 weeks just to be sure I'm not just being a chicken.  The good news is--I'm hardly winded at all when I try and run. Doing hard, fast intervals on the ellpitical has kept my cardio pretty strong.

Hi Luz! Am happy that your cardio is in great shape. Hopefully the hip and hammy will cooperate soon! :)

I am all lamed up in a boot AGAIN!!! But, we will heal! Just time and patience! We need to go on a wog (aka walk jog)...it's been too long! I miss you!
