hurt again

So I guess I have to change my strategy.  I keep pulling muscles in my lower legs when I run and it is very frustrating. Each time it happens I have to take 4-5 days off to recoup so I don't reinjure.  That is one more week of not losing weight and one less week of training. So my new strategy is to incorporate yoga by doing some each day and specifically just prior to my run.  It should warm my muscles up enough to run in the cold and hopefully give me some extra strength to haul around the extra 20 lbs I'm carrying! Strength training is going to have to make a comeback in my routine. I hate doing it alone, miss my trainer, but I have to get some muscles back.  So that means back to the gym...UGH!
