I got the green light to start running again, but I’m under strict orders to start off slowly. 1 to 2 miles for the first week or so, and on even, level ground. No hills. That’s fine with me, I’m just happy to be able to get out and run again. I tend to get a little stir crazy this time of year and I’ve been itching to get outside.

My hamstring is feeling a lot better, although it’s not quite 100% yet. The stretching and strengthening techniques I’ve been learning in physical therapy have been a great help. As long as keep that up, I’m pretty confident I will be completely healed in a few months. Knock on wood.

I plan on testing the waters this afternoon. Giddyup!
