On the run, but not literally

The Bad News:

After almost four weeks of physical therapy I am still experiencing some tightness/soreness/pain in my left hamstring.

The Good News:

I have made progress. Recently some strengthening work on my hamstring and hips has changed how things feel. On Sunday I was convinced for a period of five hours that the injury had disappeared. Those chunks of time have since been happening more frequently. It is becoming more difficult to find the spot that hurts, however when isolated it is still pretty sharp. My PT person says that the spot is likely getting smaller and that my leg is getting stronger. That is all great stuff. Once I feel like this thing is under control I will start running again. The time off has been good, but I am ready to get back at it. This phantom hamstring spot is on the run and soon I will be too.


AU plays Villanova on Thursday night in the NCAA tournament, for one day in 2009 I will be attending a sports school. Time to get pumped!
