pain...

When I'm watching football or basketball (not hockey, because those guys are ruthless) I sometimes laugh when a player is down for so long with something as silly as a hamstring cramp. Today, however, the joke is on me. It is painful, and I can vouch for that, having spent ten minutes in the stockroom today bawling and moaning in pain as I crawled to my office chair. I was almost hyperventilating, it hurt so bad. So I'm here to tell everyone out there: avoid gluteus/hamstring cramps at all costs. They are not worth whatever activity you thought you had to strain yourself into.

You should have known not windsprints in the stockroom -- especially so soon after lunch!

I hope you feel better, CB!

Man, I don't know what's wrong with my typing these days...*You should have known not TO DO wind sprints...*

Hammy pulls are the worst! Well, I suppose a groin pull is pretty bad too...but hammy problems do not go away. I went through a stretch where all I had to do was talk a longer than usual stride and I'd tweak one (or both) of my hamstrings. Fun times!

And stretch next time!! Or have someone come over to massage it out. ;-)

You jinxed me. I just got back from my little walk/jog and my left hammy was tweaking! Tweaking! I was convinced I'd end up tearing it and I'd have to drag myself to someone's house to use their phone.

But I made it home okay. :-)
