ING Georgia Training week 12:

My training is not going the way I need it to now. After the first half of greta training I have hit problems the last 2 weeks. Last week it was sickness. This week I did something to my right hamstring. I was out for my 6 miler on Saturday and right after I hit the 5 mile mark I had a sharp, localized pain in my hamstring. I thought maybe I just step wrong and would run it out. After about 20 more steps of sharp pain every time I stepped I had to stop. I stretched and walked for a minute and then went ahead and finished my run at a very slow pace. I had a noticeable limp all night. Sunday morning I just had a tight feeling in the area with just a little pain when I walked. After church I decided to try my 12 miler knowing that I was going to have discomfort for the run. I made it about .7 miles (at a pace of 2 minutes off of my normal pace) I had to stop and walk back to the truck. I have never had a hamstring injury of any type that I can remember. I don't know what to do for it. Research time.
