A Quick End to Running

I started running again about three weeks ago.  Just a tiny bit - 15 minutes - intending to ease back in very gradually.  I hadn't run since injuring my foot last summer - a stress fracture, I think.

Then I ran on the treadmill.  And outside again.  At some point, my right butt started to hurt.  It hurt when I ran, and then it even hurt when I walked.  This is not good.

I'm not exactly sure what it is, though the symptoms fit the description of high hamstring tendinopathy pretty well.  It seems to be improving daily.  Walking usually doesn't bother me now.  Cycling seems OK, and yoga, as I'm avoiding intense hamstring stretches.

I won't be running for  awhile.  I do hope I'll be able to run on a regular basis, at least a little, without injury.
