| AM - 5.25 miles with Finn before church. Went at a quicker pace and felt fairly solid. Did a bunch of stretches afterward to loosen up the periformis which I think is my "hamstring" issue. Unfortunately I think I actually inflamed the nerve as a result.

| AM - short run with Finn on the new Milton Preserve trail behind my house. They put up signs every few hundred yards now unfortunately that indicate all dogs must be on leashes on the trail. I tried to ignore the first few, because there was no one else on the trail, but decided to abide with the rules after about a mile. They also put up signs restricting people from the unfinished portions of the trail, which was also disappointing. In any event, my periformis syndrome was quite aggravated, so I cut things very short today to give it a rest.

| AM - 5.25 miles on Redd Road (horsetrail roads) trying to ignore the periformis, but it was a struggle - not very enjoyable. Vigorously researching stretches/strengthening exercises after the run - and did some rowing to perhaps be of some remedy.

| AM - really painful, horrible run this morning due to what I think is an inflamed periformis muscle that is causing issues with the sciatic nerve on the left side from my upper hamstring. I had tried a new set of stretches / exercises yesterday for it and actually felt really good in that area by the end of the day - but when I tried to run this morning...not so much.

| AM - 3 very slow miles on the trail with Finn. Did some more research on the periformis and discovered some guidance on a PT website that a lot of people think that the muscle is tight and needs to be stretched and that's actually the opposite of what is needed - instead contracting the muscle with exercises will allow it to properly heal. That checked out with my experience in stretching it a bunch and feeling much worse and painful as a result. So I did the basic contraction exercises (mainly clam shell) late yesterday. Avoided crossing my legs when seated and generally tried to stand or lay flat for much of time - and then did a very easy jog this morning that I expected would need to include some walking, but happily it did not. Hopefully the healing progression will continue over the next several days and weeks.
