Getting Back Into The Swing….
After riding the pine and my wife riding my ass, I am finally able to return to the field of dreams. My hamstring is on the tail end of the healing proccess and the therapy and rehab have helped in my recovery. Friday ,marks my return and I cannot wait. Like many others I hate sitting there watching the team play, but it had to be done. I am able to run full speed now with little to no pain. Of course, I do still feel that tightness, but I am able to loosen it up with some good ole deep stretches and staying hydrated.
Even though I am able to get back out there I still feel like I am less than 100%, that being said, I am not going to push myself to hard….well I am going to try not too anyways. I know that hamstring injuries take time and that once you had one you are prone to more. So here is my plan to resist more injuries:
1) I am going to spend more time stretching before and after my games.
2) I am going to hit the gym with more purpose, not going balls out and going heavy all the time.
3) I am going to watch my diet more closely (been pretty bad since coming home)
4) Lastly, I am going to listen to my wifes advice and not be so STUBBORN.
So there you go four fail safe ways to stay injury free. Time will tell how it works out, but I will keep you posted for sure.
