around about 2 weeks ago i pulled a muscle in my leg while i was running sprints.
I stretched it out after the workout. and then hit the hot tub thinking that maybe that will make it feel a little better. I layed off any running or doing any other lowerbody work outs for about a week. then last weekend i ran a few K's after making sure to strech.

The same thing happened. and again after this mornings run. I ran only for a k and i could feel it tightning up.

i guess that i didn't give it enough time to heal, but i am a little unsure what other cardio i can still do so that it will heal quickly. I really dont want to cut it out for a few weeks because i am trying to get back into the routine of doing my cardio in the morning.
 
Under circumstances like that I would rest it for at least 3-4 weeks.that should give it time to heal. Then slowly ease back into running and working out just take it easy at first then build up
 
Sounds like it needs some time to heal.
Maybe you could try swimming or have you tried riding bike.
