What a birthday surprise--- hot flashes and a very tight hamstring/buttock!!  :D.  Yes I awoke in the middle of night (midnight to be exact) dripping wet like I had gone running out in a sauna.  I am serious.  Well that was the first clue I was turning 43 today.  Then, the darn hamstring/buttock pain and tightness!!! Gee whiz, this is new.  I mean for it to contine on and on like this and actually feel worse today!!!  Rolled it and rolled it, mind you it was a killer.  But runners have a thing for pain so I kept doing it.  It felt so much better after rolling it.  Ahhh.  So I went to the gym for 8 recovery miles on the TM at 1%.  It took control to keep it slow like this but I behaved myself for the most part until I got to the last half mile of the 7 th mile and saw that the TM would shut off at 60 minutes and so I upped it to 7:30 pace to get the 7 miles in just under 60 minutes (59:51).  I ran the last mile at 7:56 AP.  I started at 8:27 pace and went up 0.1 mph every 1/10th of mile for the last mile.  That is when knew my hamstring was talking.  He said stop.  Lucky for him I was stopping.  : D.

thanks Joe. Hey, I know it rhymes and all but really you don't qualify for your blog name!! FASTjoe is more like it :D.

I used SlowJoe bc when I signed up, my oldest daughter's favorite book was Fox in Socks (had to read it constantly and basically had it memorized), and "Slow Joe Crow" is in it.

Hope you got that zoo party!

Happy Birthday and yay for nice easy miles and 9 hours of sleep. :) Cheers!! Eat some b-day cake for me k?

Happy Birthday! Have you tried rolling on a baseball or tennis ball? It REALLY hurts, but always seems to alleviate the pain/spasms more than a foam roller.

Good luck!

ah now I understand Joe.

Rachelle, I am refusing cake today. It is true. My daughter gave me a little cake on Saturday. I am counting that :D.

Toby-- I used a rolling pin and oH MY the pain. But it did work if I held it there and moved in various spots. Got to do that several times today. I will also try the tennis ball. Thanks.
