Workout Recap

Last week was a good week running-wise, but not so much for my piriformis muscle. It has been acting up ever since the 5 mile run I did before my 10K and running seems to irritate it.  Sitting irritates it as well and lucky me sits about 10 hours a day, between work and my commute, le sigh.

Monday
I did an easy 2.5 mile run in the morning. Monday morning runs always make for a great start for the week.

Tuesday
Tuesday is supposed to be yoga, but I got my haircut and didn't want to mess it up. That was my excuse to be lazy and not go pretty much.

Wednesday
My new hair cut didn't keep me from going on a 3 mile run in the morning. This run felt better than Monday's run, which I was happy about.

Saturday
I did my "long run" of the week of 4 miles. It went really well and I felt great afterwards, which is a really good sign. No runners knee pain in my left knee, (yay!), which probably is due to the fact I bought new shoes. I had read online that the Lunarglide 2 fit differently than the original Lunarglide, which I love, but my pair is about a year old and has well over 350 miles on them I'm sure. So, I had a groupon for Lombardi Sports, which I used to buy these:

So in review, I need to fit in more crosstraining. Yoga is good, but I'd also like to get in some elliptical machine  to help balance out my muscles a bit to help with this piriformis issue I've been having. The research I've done seems promising, that it responds quickly to stretching and massage, so lets hope that works. I also am almost over my horrible cold, still a bit congested, ugh, but getting there. And trying to stay positive for my 12K next Sunday!.
