Stupid, Stupid, How does it feel?

One of my all time favorite moments in Cops! is an episode focusing on some Neighborhood Watch yokels that were running off drug dealers in their neighborhood. One of the dealers was in the back of a cop car and the yokels were chanting, "Stupid, Stupid, How does it feel? Sittin' in the back of a police mobile." Awesome.

Anyway, stupidity is what I have displayed in abundance this week. I decided that my hammy had had enough rest and that it was time for me to begin training hard again. Yesterday was a hill repeats workout on the bike. My coach said to stay on the flat, but I did the hills anyway. I felt okay when I started my 40 minute run today, but 13:25 in, I felt my hamstring go. I had to walk back to my apartment 1 1/2 miles in the rain. I am an idiot.

I really need to take care of my hammy before it gets worse. Rest, stretching, ice, compression, and elevation...right?
