Disappointed yesterday worked really hard at my bag run but still did the same time although i was more switched on and it did seem i won't say easier but i felt more in control of the run if that makes sense and i enjoyed it...aching this morning though..

Saturday Disaster set off with full weighted bag in boots 3 miles in pulled my hamstring....gutted had to hobble back to gym
cold bath with 3 packs of ice
can't believe it only 5 training weeks left and this happens..i think it is only a slight strain and may heal within a week according to what it says on this site but looks like i will miss a good week training.
Gutted
poss not as bad as i expected but think i gonna lose a weeks training.
also bought some of those power-plast cooling gel plasters from poundland what a load of rubbish they are about as cold as my cuppa.

first 6 mile was ok but tweaked hamstring again so had to walk back the last mile
did a 9 mile cross country walk up in the lakes on Thursday hamstring felt ok. so fingers crossed ..
gonna do a little run on Monday see if it holds up
It's not a huge injury but it tweaks at the back of my leg and prevents running.
