Treadmill run at the end of the day. Mile 1 was 6:18 for .5 then 6:00. Miles 2-3 at 5:49 and mile 4 at 5:42. Mile 5 at 5:39 for .5, 5:27 for .25 and 5:00 for .25. Total of 28:55 at a 1.5 incline. Felt strong though hurried.
Got a good sports massage thereafter. He said that I have the tightest piriformis muscles he has worked on in a long time. He thinks the tighness in the right side is causing overcompensating injuries on the left side. Though he intended to work the lower back and hamstring as well, he kept going back to the glute. The hamstring is a bit tight but not overly so and my range of motion on both sides was good. I broke out in a cold sweat a few times with the immense pain and afterward my rear felt like jelly. Caused me to laugh out loud because of the stark contrast.
Thanks to Andrea for the referral. Of course, stretching, ice baths and lots of water recommended. I am bad at all of these.
