I'll be honest...I'm officially frustrated now. I'm not seeing any running in my near future as it's a struggle now to just walk around without limping much. :( About the only thing I can do is ... read more

good Day 52 - Rest Day #1
Knocked out my 100 pushups and 100 situps and did a 2:00 plank, but no running for me as I try to get my back/right hip to return to normal. It's tough when you look at your plan and see a 9-mile ... read more

Oh jeez...that doesn't sound good :(. Hopefully just a strained muscle that will heal up with a couple of days of rest. Do you what it was that first caused it?

alright Earth Day Marathon Half Preview 13.1 mi 01:45 08:00 pace
The goal today was to run the Earth Day Half Marathon course in 1:45. It took an all-out sprint the last 2+ miles, but my Garmin hit 13.1 just as the time hit 1:45 so I think I nailed that goal. ... read more

It's lower back. I definitely didn't do any planks today afterwards. We'll see what happens tomorrow morning. The hardest part might be getting down to the floor and then getting up afterwards. Putting on shoes and socks after the run today was a challenge.

I was much more motivated today as I knocked out the 100 pushups and 100 situps so I could go for my run. :) I added a 100-second plank after the run.

I watched the Grammys last night with the foam roller. I can't imagine how sore I would be if I hadn't done that.

Of course you miss your runs! I'm frustrated for you! I'm sure piriformis is part of it, but it doesn't generally affect you when walking. Usually back issues will affect your walking. Sounds like the sciatic nerve may be aggravated. Piriformis pain is right in the middle of the butt. If it continues, it might be good to see a chiropractor...best to know exactly what you're dealing with.

Sorry to read this Dave. There are so many seasons in running (I don't mean Summer, Winter, Spring and Fall either). Take this season of rest and you'll be back in no time. Trust the body when it's talking to you. Hope you're back out there soon.
