Went to the sports chiropractor/therapist and he examined me and determined i likely have been dealing with a bulging disk in my lower back that has been radiating through my sciatic nerve into my hamstring/butt area...makes complete sense to me!

He worked on me a little bit, gave me some rehab homework and advised me to train through it. Since I am going to be meeting up with him now somewhat regularly, he wants to make sure i'm only changing one variable at a time (i.e. making sure his adjustments are helping and not simply taking time off running to rest). I think its a good plan. I already feel somewhat better, 5 miles this morning after the appt in 35:54, with a 6:51 last mile, not fast by any means, but i negative split the last 2.5 by a good margin. Finally starting to loosen up and hopefully recovery is on the way.

awful weather tonight, near 100 degrees and heat index of 110 easy. dew point was 73, which is just oppressive. felt okay for the first 3 miles, then it was actually that 4:30 slice of cheesecake at work that turned my stomach over and forced me home. only when I made that decision did i start to really hurt cuz of the heat. I think without the GI problems, i coulda gone 6. either way i was absolutely hurting when i got done, the a.c never felt so good..too dang hot and humid for running..34:48, 6:57.5 avg pace, hit miles 2 and 3 in 13:37, or 6:49 pace. hammy feeling better as i used my lumbar support and have done the rehab stretching all day at work.

Ran late, after work. Sun was going down, kind of a nice summer sunset, it was so hot and humid though. 88 and 97 h.i. when i started, only a little lower when i finished. first real pain-free run in nearly 2 months. The guys at the chiropractic place have been great! 49:15, 7:02 avg pace, hit 20:41 3 mile split in the middle, 6:54 avg pace there, just a tiny uptick in pace. did 6xstrides after. Felt pretty good on the run, was very wiped out from the heat though.

another hot day, but it stormed about 4 o clock, so by the time i got out about 5:30 after work, the temp was okay, still pretty humid, but not near as bad as it has been. didnt feel as good today, a little tighter, i realize this recovery phase will take a little while before i'm busting out great workouts every day. 50:15, 7:11 avg pace
