Hamstring Hurts and Matcha “Meatball” Cookies

I haven’t had this kind of pain in my hamstring since 2011. Why now?! Maybe because things seem to come full circle in life and aches and pains are one of those things. Right hamstring is super tight and restrictive in movement so a visit to the PT tomorrow has been scheduled.

It’s like trying to disconnect your body from your brain. My first week’s plan for Boston training is a goal of 30 miles total. I want to go into the training feeling 100% but I’m not sure that leg is going to be 100%. There’s a knot in it that won’t go away.
