Ran 3.8 miles up to Roy High's track, 4x100 strides 100m jogging inbetween, 4x200 fast 100m slow jog inbetween, 400m slow jog, 4x200 fast 100m slow jog inbetween, 4.2 mile run home.  1st set of 4x200 splits were 31.8, 31.14, 30.86, 31.38.  2nd set of 4x200 splits were 30.62, 31.44, 31.77, 30.99.  I felt good on these and my leg felt good.  I think I might just be being paranoid about my leg and knee because I'm in real good shape right now and everytime I get into real good shape it seems I get injured.  I hope it's just me being paranoid.  But, I'm experienced enough with injuries that I know that I can't just ignore the pains that I have been having.  I think it might be piriformis syndrome that I'm dealing with and not my i.t. band like I originally thought.  I've had a little bit of knee pain on the outside of my knee which made me think it was my i.t. band, but I have also had some real bad lower back pain at times and some tingly pain up and down the back and outside part of my leg and real tightness in the right buttocks which makes me think it's the piriformis flaring up and causing pains up and down my sciatic nerve.  Any thoughts or advice????

That could be piriformis based on how you described it. The only advice I'd give you is don't ignore those symptoms... better to miss one or two workouts than to force something and miss a month's worth of workouts.
