Injury

I really want to start posting more. I have a lot of writing coming down the pike so I'd like to get more comfortable with writing. Last Thursday, Ihad a 20 minute run on my schedule. When I hear 20 minute run, I immediately think about running as fast as I possible can. It gets me excited because I want to get faster. Anyway, I pushed it to hard and pulled my hamstring. My response was to ignore it and do a 40 minute base run on Friday,2500 meters in the pool Friday night, and a 4 hour bike session on Saturday. I had a 1 1/2 hr run on Sunday AM. I got 5 minutes in and had to turn around because each step was killing me. I took off this week and I'm experiencing some intersting sensation. At first, I felt like I was cheating because I wasn't working out. I secretly wondered if I'd quit now that I had an injury. Physically, I can feel my body healing itself and I have had some of the most intense sleep sessions in memory. Now, I'm going stir crazy. I feel waves of energy surge through me witrh no place to go. I know I have to take care of this injury and nor aggravate it, but I also love training and miss it.
