Small Inconvenience

Well first off thanks for reading again and secondly I apologize for not having finished part 2 of the Pushing the Absolute Limits post, but I've been having some issues with that one however I can assure you (fine readers of my blog) that I will finish ASAP.

With that out of the way, I wanted to give a small update on my training as of now...well there is no training. Not because I said f*** running, but that hamstring issue of mine has gotten to the point that I would possibly risk further injury and possible surgery. So I've decided that I would rather take the time to heal instead of being a stewhead and trying to run through the pain. So I've been icing my hamstring for several hours throughout the day and (fingers crossed) it seems to be working okay so far. The swelling has subsided a tad and the pain isn't as annoying and sore as it had been. Still not exactly sure what caused it to begin with, but I'm leaning towards a certain pair of shoes that were not like the other 3 pairs. Either way I should hopefully be back on road again within a few weeks (hopefully) and back to training.

I'll be completely honest I was pretty fearful that I may have to take off several weeks if not months in order to rehab and heal completely but with the intense icing I've been doing hopefully that will be cut down to a matter of weeks. Because I originally thought I may not be on route to train for a marathon in November because of the time missed and after 2 weeks usually you're running form and fitness begin to decrease (well I know I read that shit somewhere). So I hope I'll be in top form by the time the Peachtree Road Race rolls around in July.

Anyhow thanks again for reading and hopefully get back to running soon...very soon

Quick Update 4-7-2014

So anyhow, sorry for the delay on part 2 of the pushing the absolute limits post but I can assure it will be done within the week. Either way just a quick update, so my hammy's still giving me small fits, but it hasn't been bad enough to keep me away from getting miles in for the time being. With that said already signed up for a 10k next weekend, so training continues.

I'll keep you guys posted, thanks again for reading.
