When my softball season started in May and started those 100% all out sprints around bases etc., I exacerbated the problem and my sore hamstrings became chronic and very painful. I a bad case of upper hamstring tendonitis and bursitis that lasted for 8 months. This is also exacerbated by sitting which I do all the time in my car logging the miles (sales-large territory). In August I couldn't even run a mile without walking. Finally, I received cortisone shots (my last resort) in December that seemed to help a lot. It knocked out the lingering pain. I have been improving ever since. I am back doing even more core training and more one leg squats, heavier lunges etc to build back up. I am back up close to my normal miles but still laying off much of the intensity. I plan to compete in all events this year but will use this year to build back up. A good learning experience. DUMB DUMB DUMB! I am a bit cautious of softball this year though.....
