I ran out towards Payson this morning and the morning was beautiful! My sciatica was about the same except I can now feel it on the other side now too, so thats not good... It seemed to get a little looser as the run went on and it never seemed to get any worse so that is a good sign. When I  returned home I hopped on the elliptical for 20 minutes for some cross training as it seems to help loosen up things for the next day so I am going to try and see if this will help and if it does then I will keep doing it and if it doesn't then I will stop;-) My average pace was 8:34 with my HR average at 142, total time was 51:54, I will try and do some strength training when I get home tonight from work, no time this morning as I woke up late and I need to get going.

 

See ya tomorrow.

Great start to the week. Hope the sciatica settles down. Nothing worse than back pain!

Clay, what did you decide about your shoes? Do you think they are a concern? Get well soon, I expect you to break my PR at the Provo Half.
