Lessons of a To Hamstring
About 11 years ago, this weekend warrior participated in a good old fashioned Sunday morning touch football game. As I extended my left leg, outstretched to defend a receiver from catching the ball, I felt a pop in my left hamstring. I came away limping, unable to put any pressure on it. With little rehab, I was back running in a few weeks—big mistake! About 8 months later, I started to develop pain in my left hip and to this day, that hasn’t changed. I still am very physically active and fit, but my running days are behind me—or so I thought.
