Notes
My 2nd one and only run so far for this week following a 15 mile cycle with Franc. I have been a little bit apprehensive because I have recently experienced probs wih my Piriformis muscle. The cycle was great with no problems on any part of the body.
I decided straight after cycling to go for a short run to test the legs and right side of hips/ back. There has been a lot of tightness there since my run on the tread mill. I have also experiencing a slight numbness and irritation on the Sciatic nerve all the way down to the right leg. The whole motion tends to also slightly irritate my hamstring on the right leg. These probs I never had problems before. So, as this in new I am paying close attention to it and I may have to pay a visit to the Chiropractor the coming week.
Overall my run went well but I had heavy legs to start with and of course I took it easy all the way and enjoyed what was there to be enjoyed.
Having mild weather days like today it does help a lot especially for my Frankie who does not like cycling in wild Scottish weathers for what I keep teasing him about.
It has been all good but for Franc and I will take some time before we are able to go out there and enjoy our runs without been pre-occupied with negative thoughts and apprehension. We will get there though as All Runners do. It is a matter of time but as Coach would say for the time being we need to respect and listen to the body even if this has been a loooooooooooooooooooooong time of doing so.
