Slow but steady...slow but steady... slow by steady:
The chant in my head as I made my way across 3 miles of pavement at a jog for the first time since I pulled my left hamstring weeks ago.
It felt incredibly slow, but good. And this run was just in the nick of time since this weekend I have a 6 mile race with my sisters.
Back to chanting....
This is a blog about me wanting to get in shape for myself, keeping my curves, and maybe venting about how much it can suck trying to be a Fat Bottomed Runner.

It's a hammie!
I have done a wonderful job of pulling my hamstring!
On my long run of 12 mines last week I pulled my hamstring on my left leg. The entire back of my leg is tight. I can't even fully extent my leg. I rested it for six days, babying it, taking meds and stretching it. This morning I tried to run again, just six miles. At mile three, I was so tight I had to walk myself home.
So a call to my PT sister told me that I have to massage it with a foam roller. And hopefully soon I will be able to run again. As for this weekend.... no long run for me.
