I've been walking with a limp since Saturday after my run. My sciatic nerve is hating me right now and suddenly flared up at the very end of my long run on Saturday. This happened last May, except I didn't know what was going on then and after several weeks of not running I went and saw an athletic trainer and got some stretches to do that started relieving my pain pretty quickly. I'm hoping I can get this taken care of with some stretching, icing, heat this week and get back to it the next week. We'll see.....

Cross training on stationary bike for 45 minutes. Still waiting out my sciatic nerve to stop shooting pain up and down my leg when I walk.

Biked today for 35 minutes, that's all I could fit in. When I can't run I have no motivation for cross training. So this week has been kind of a bust. But yesterday Angie let me come use her inversion table a couple of times. Her husband had sciatic nerve problems and recommended using it and some stretches with an excercise ball. This morning I have felt better then I have since last Saturday. Hopefully tomorrow will feel even better and I can run a little.

Got out to the gym this morning for some cross training. Elliptical irrates the nerve a little bit so I did a combination of elliptical and bike for an hour. I did try running on the indoor track but I can't still. Until the sharp pain in my lower back goes away I can't run. I'll just keep trying a combination of stretches, exercise ball, and inversion table to get this pain away. But i'm afraid it will take time. I don't know how much time at this point last time this happened it took a few weeks but I didn't know what it was then and how to fix it. I'm hoping this time pain will stop soon because it's getting frustating doing day to day tasks such as walking and lifting my 1 year old in constant pain.
