Last night my right hamstring/glute started to get sore. Not sure whats up with that since I've barely been running and it felt fine yesterday. I went out to run anyway and it quickly got worse so I decided to bag the run.

My hamstring was still sore today but I noticed it was kind of a burning pain which a lot of times means nerve pain. It is kind of like the pain that came out of nowhere right before the St George Marathon this year. I'm thinking it may be a touch of sciatica from all the heavy lifting on stuck snowmobiles over the weekend. Going out with several inexperienced riders in deep fresh powder is a recipe for a sore back from getting their machines unstuck. My back actually felt fine but I know it's not uncommon for the pain to be transfered to that area. I took some ibuprofen this morning and it went away completely. I ran easy miles at 8:34 pace just after dark then went to play basketball. We only had 5 players so ended up playing the whole game. The pain seems to be gone.

Didn't take any ibuprofen today and the pain was back slightly. I started my run thinking maybe it would go away once I got going but it got a bit worse so I quit after 1 mile.

Ran 6 miles in the morning at 8:27 pace then went up into the mountains cross country skiing with my wife and son. It was my first time on cross country skis and I was surprised how much upper body effort it takes. I'm definitely going to have some sore muscles tomorrow.
