The half marathon that I'm planning to run in November is raising its price at the end of this month. If I want to take advantage of the discount, I have to register in the next week.
I think I'm going to do it!
My hamstring is still an issue, but the gentle exercise I've been doing the last week hasn't hurt it. In fact, I think my hammie has gotten stronger. And I don't think I'm just imagining it...
I've been really careful not to push too hard, and when I have (like when sprinting across a busy road in between cars), it has reminded me to slow down. For the most part, I've been really good about listening. Each time I work out, I feel the tightness in the muscle, and some residual soreness the rest of the day, but the following day it feels stronger.
Maybe it's finally healing?
To recap what I did after I strained my hamstring: First, I tried tough love. Then I babied it. When neither of those did anything, I resorted to fooling it by walking a lot (which doesn't hurt), and mixing in small amounts of jogging (which does hurt a little). I guess fooling it did the trick.
Whatever. I'm just glad to be running again!
