A couple of hours into the day I started getting shooting pains in the left sciatic nerve area in the buttock clear down the leg and into the ankle.  Tried to stand up for phone calls for a while and gave in and went home. Stopped in at the chiropractor on the way home and he said I caught it early.  Alternated laying down and taking the dog for short walks and finally the pain went away about 6 p.m.

No residual effects from the 'butt' injury yesterday, so went for a run on the treadmill after work. Felt good and did some speedwork.

6 miles in shorts and a t-shirt - including some good hills up 8600 S and 13th East.  

I'm really thinking I did some damage to my lungs with the 5 weeks of bronchitis, sinus infections and ear infections sandwiched around the Goofy Challenge back in January.  I struggle too much on simple runs and cough a lot when trying to inhale deeply.  Dug out the inhaler from January this afternoon and am going to use it for a few days to see if it helps.
