Great weather today. Went out for an afternoon easy 3. Surprisingly my legs felt pretty good following yesterdays speed work.
One nagging pain that continues is in my left hip/glutes. I did quite a bit of research last night looking into possible causes, diagnoses and treatments. One possible diagnosis that seems to fit the symptoms is Piriformis syndrome. Basically just a pain in my ass, literally.
I've got a list of stretches and strength exercises to try to build up the surrounding/supporting muscles. I'll work those pre and post run and in the evenings. As of right now I'm going to try to keep the mileage as planned, but I might need to take a couple of days and see if I can eliminate the issue altogether.
Tuesday: Ran from work in the afternoon. Went to Anchor Inn and back. 3.14 miles, 8:21 minute/mile pace with an average heart rate around 160bpm.
