14 painfully slow miles from Jeremy Ranch to East Canyon and back.  I'm still having leg problems and can't seem to figure out what it is exactly.  I had a massage on Saturday and Two different massages on Sunday.  In the last session Sunday they found some trigger points in my hip flexor/ glutes on both sides that put shock waves down both legs.  Man did it hurt and this morning it is very tender there.  I had a long ice bath last night before bed.  I have been off any medications including IB for a week now, and I hurt.  I can do eliptical, stationary bike and the rowing machine at the gym with little irritation.  But impact causes me to tighten up and over protect.  Is it tendinitis? Or what?  I've got less than 2 weeks to figure this out.  I beleive this extra week between Top and STG is a good thing.  When I ran yesterday after having basically a whole week off.  I told myself, last year at this time I had just ran a marathon the day before.  I think my legs feel worse though this year.  Any ideas of what to look for to iron this out will be greatly appreciated.  I stetched this morning and was very tight.

Bill,

I think you should give Mark Baker a call, he has been doing Active Release Therapy on Taha and I for the last several weeks. If you are having a soft tissue issue, he will likely find and release it. It is not really like massage, it is painful, but I have found it to be effective, and it has allowed Taha to run without any cramps or pain, first time in 4 years. I am running with less pain than I have in at least 3 years, not perfect, but getting better. He works in Clearfield, but if you are getting desperate, it might be worth your time. His number is: 801-773-7448. He has my strongest recommendation. I wish you quick healing.
