Yesterday morning was one of those mornings where you really don't want to get out of bed. You are so deeply asleep when the alarm goes off at 4 that you really want to just turn over.
But I've turned over a new leaf, and after Easter's gluttony was over I promised myself that I'd get back on track with my diet and exercise.
So I dragged myself out of bed. I procrastinated as long as possible, but finally hit the road only 5 minutes late, wearing my new shoes for only the second time. I walked my typical quarterish mile warm-up, and broke into a (slow) run. About half a mile later, I felt a pain in my right butt. It actually felt kind of like the sciatica I had when I was preggo - a shooting nerve pain - but it was originating in my butt and radiating down my hamstring. I immediately started walking and turned for home.
I've been taking ibuprofen and I foam rolled last night, but I'm still feeling a lingering, almost burning knotted sensation in my hamstring, maybe 6 inches above my knee.
This. BLOWS.
