Hamstring Pull

The half marathon left me with a pulled hamstring.

One of the three major muscles at the back of my leg at the point where it reaches the knee right at the back is pulling, feeling tense with a dull pain not letting me run for more than 10 minutes without complaint.

I had a quick look around on the internet and a few things stuck.
a. Hamstring injuries take 3 weeks to recover, not 1 and a bit.
b. Hamstring stretches are the most important ones. Apparently...
c. The way I sit at my chair, legs folded under, is BAD for hamstrings.

So there, no park run or race for me for the next couple of weeks at least.

BOOOO HOOOO
