You'd have to paid a lot of attention to remember this, but I once mentioned that my hamstrings are prone to injury. Well, my left hamstring is injured. I felt it pop as I was doing sprints (exactly what I was worried would happen if I did sprints).
Hamstring injuries are nothing new to me. In fact, that popping that I felt is a very familiar feeling. I've felt it many times before. So, where does that leave me? For the two days it will be R.I.C.E. (rest, ice, compression, elevation) and after that I'll just have to take it easy. I suppose it also means that my sprinting days really are over. As much as I'd like to do sprints I know that they end up injuring me, and I should (as an almost 40 year old man) let them slide.
In truth, I'm looking for a new method of cardio. Jumping rope, as it turns out, bores me. Running is great, but the optimal time to run is also my ideal skate session and I'd rather spend the "golden hour" skateboarding. Hmmm...should I take up "Dancing to the Oldies?" LOL
