Day 15 - Wrapped up

That'll teach me...I ran 4miles today and on the running schedule I only had to run 3miles. But I forgot to double check what I was suppose to run today before leaving the house and a mile into the run I started questioning myself as to how far I had to go. I thought that since I ran 6 miles yesterday for sure they would only want me to run 3 miles today as a easy down day. But, I wasn't sure and I didn't want to ruin my training program by running a mile short so I ran 4 miles today just to make sure. My time was not bad either considering I was very tiered from my run the day before. The results of my run were 4 miles, 6.45km in 41:06, avg pace 6:23/km burned 578 cal.
Before leaving the house this morning I did do something different. I wrapped up my left thigh. I found a wrap in the medicine cabinet and thought it would be a good idea to wrap that muscle to keep it warm and together. I've tried everything else...hot, cold, stretch, yoga, rolling, hitting it but that muscle does not want to let go. I'm very flexible as in I can touch my toes, head on my knees but it's not those hamstring muscles that hurt it's the little ones in behind or around the main hamstring muscle that connect to my ass muscle. I do the pigeon stretch and that seems to reach those muscles I need to stretch but still no improvement. I've also been rotating my hip joints a lot to keep that area agile and I'm taking glucosamine with my protein powder...anyone else out there have other suggestions? Not sure if wrapping the leg was a good idea or not but it didn't seem to hurt. What are the expert opinions out there?
