I'll save the Hallmark platitudes and let you choose your own way of finding your happy place. But don't doubt yourself--you can accomplish anything you set your mind too. Oops. I just faltered and let a platitude slip out! Fighting mental problems can be just as, if not more, challenging than physical problems.

I really feel like my hamstrings and hips have been so much better just from one class a week. It might be worth a try to loosen up those hamstrings! Have you tried yoga?

Easier said than done. But do it, Mark. And I second the magnesium for cramps. The operative word in that post is “ease into.” Easier said than done. But do it, Mark.

You've got a lot of training banked and you're fit and strong. Your legs are just resting. Have you tried heating your hamstring? When my hamstrings are tight, I sleep with a lower-back ThermaCare pad wrapped around my thigh and they're nice and loose by the time I wake up. Don’t fret about the missed training runs.

Taking magnesium helps prevent them. I wonder if I eat differently during this time and end up lacking it or maybe my body just needs more. Just a thought.

I was beginning to wonder where you went. Struggles after many weeks of successful training are common. Drop me a line. Ah, there you are. I was beginning to wonder where you went.
