AM-6 miles with 4 at MP.  Broke the speed limit this morning but I was feeling good so I went for it.  Oh well...

I think I have finally figured out the hamstring and sciatic issues and it's a combination of things. I have not totally gotten rid of this issue yet and perhaps never will. However I was doing some reading and discovered that the lack of knee flexion seems to put more load on the hamstrings and thus resulting in strain and tear.  I'm not sure how this all ties into the sciatic nerve but somehow I think it does. All I know is that between an adjustment perhaps and focusing on knee flexion with the hips up and forward  has greatly reduced these symptoms lately.  Don't you just love imbalances?

PM-No run. Busy today..

Thanks, sometimes you just listen to your body and just go.
