The "hamstring pull" blues, positive outlook

I'm going into my 8th week of my hamstring pull injury. I can still feel it and I probably have another month to go, but I can definitely tell taht there has been improvement. If anything, this injury has allowed me to focus on other problem areas that I had been neglecting. I'm now more flexible, and I'm working on strengthing my core, by focusing on pushups, situps, and pull ups. I'm also cross training and strengthening the muscles around my knee, so when I do start running again, I will be ready to start piling on the miles again. I look at it as a much needed break.
