Riding from the Sidelines

I got in a great ride today. Probably would not have happened, had I not hurt my hammy earlier in the week during a run. My left Biceps Femoris muscle got a bit pissed off at me and locked up. Felt like a cramp at the time, so I thought I could run through it.

I walked the last mile home...that's a lonely feeling.

So, Billy worked it over a bit on Thursday and told me to stretch and take it easy for a while. I'm going back to see him on Monday, then try to run again Tuesday/Wednesday...stay tuned.

I'm 6 weeks into my Bayshore Marathon training program, and things are going well. Until this injury, it had been the first time I've never missed a plan's workout...I was right on schedule. Hopefully, I won't be on the sidelines long, though I will have about 6 weeks to get back on schedule for the marathon, worst case...that should be good enough...right?
