Spent all morning on the phone to work before actually going to work, so no morning run. Wasn't sure I'd get one in, but I got off work at 11:40, rushed home, changed and was out of the house before midnight. So that counts as Sunday, and thus October. Of importance only because I wanted to get in 100 miles in October, and tonight's 4.5 did that. Three extended laps around the mall, going down to the Burger King twice. Thought about doing hill sprints on Duncan, then reminded myself it was nearly 1 a.m. Hill sprints can wait.
Read something today that quad/flexor stretching may fix the problem at the base of my right buttock. I'll give it a try, since nothing else has worked. Theory is that quad/flexor stretches allow the pelvis to tilt normally and thus relieve the strain posteriorly. I'm no ex phys, but it makes a little sense. I didn't get this problem when I stretched more regularly, which included quads as well as hammies.
A week off now, then I go on the overnight shift for four days. That oughta be fun (not). |
