My new left hamstring injury seems to be related to my extremely tight lower back.

I have been given exercises to do and bought one of the back support things that you put in your chair and/or car. Today I am feeling much better, I can tell things are relaxing.

The plan is to not exercise for until Monday. I cannot remember the last time I had not exercised for 4 days. Only doing the rehab exercised and then I will run on Monday and see what happens. I am going to be a good patient!

I know that I have come a long way. In the past knowning that I could not exercise would have totally freaked me out. I am not freaking out at all. I have a goal to do these next 5 races - a 5k, 10k, 2 half marathons all leading up to the full marathon in November. 4 days will not hurt me.

My challange during these 4 days is cutting the calories. No exercise calories. Even though I am traveling for work this weekend and I will not be able to control the food choices I know I can make the best choice and still log estimated calories. This is my goal. I have no exuse for not being able to log since I can do it from my phone. I can do this.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.
