I ended up with sciatica (a Greek Warrior..ha ha).
A week ago I could not run (at all) and thought I had pulled a hamstring but each day the pain moved to another part of my right leg and finally settled in the glute. I visited my chiro and he adjusted me twice telling me firmly that it was piriformis and sciatic nerve issues. Those adjustments (I am like a car) really made a difference.
I can now walk and run without discomfort but I am very slowly ramping back up to my usual every other day runs. Right now I am at 15 minutes running broken up by a lot of walking.
I watched a show on TV that showed gentle (& calming) yoga-pilates exercises for the core.
I am now incorporating several of them into my weekly routine. They are really early stage stuff but don't seem to bother my back at all.
I AM SCIATICA !!!!!
I AM PIRIFORMIS!!!!!
I walked and ran for about 35 minutes today. 16 minutes of walking and the rest running. I could still feel some minor discomfort but nothing daunting. I will continue to ramp up but break up the running with more walks. Like 2 minutes running and 1 minute walking and do that 10x.
I met with Jake for breakfast. He is giving me the JV's which is fine. I think it will be easier on both of us.
