8 weeks post-surgery

No active hamstring exercises or isometrics for ~7-8wks. said the doc, so 8 in a way is a magic number. Magic in the sense that I can finally use the hamstring muscles again--not that they'll actually work the way they're supposed to, unfortunately. There's no question that I've come a long way from the days that I couldn't bear even an ounce of weight on the leg, but now that I've come this far--sustained, vigorous uphill hiking and biking--I just want to run again. Before I could hike or bike, all I wanted to do was hike or bike, but now that I'm doing these things again, I want to take it that one step further. After all, this is what I'm in it for. I suppose that a bit of patience for another 4-6wks. will treat me well, so I'll just hang in there and hope for the best.
