I felt better this morning than I have in a couple of weeks. The leg feels like it almost completely back to normal. I plan on doing a real hard workout tomorrow which will really test it. I felt pretty comfortable today which made me very happy because I have been real concerned.  AP:  6:53.  

Great job to everyone that ran the Striders Half this past weekend!  I was really impressed with how competitive it was when I looked at the results yesterday!

Real strong workout this morning. 2.5 mile warm-up, 15 mile AB, 2.5 cool-down. AP for 15 miles was 5:26.73.  Mile splits were:  5:22, :23, :33, :27, :25, :28, :28, :27, :33, :22, :25, :18, :30, :35, :25.  I ended at the same place I started so it was an honest course.  It's amazing the difference a few days can make.  I felt really good and my legs felt pretty good.  

Afterwards I used a certificate I had won at that small St. Patty's day race to get some Positional Release Therapy (PRT) done on my piriformis.  It was interesting.  So far I feel like it may have helped.  Time will tell.

Opted to wait another day before doing a hard work out in order to recover more from Tuesday's workout. My right leg which had the piriformis issues is feeling completely better, but now I have a pain on the outside of my left leg just a couple inches above the ankle.  I iced that this morning after my run.  Anybody have any ideas of what that might be and how else to treat it?   It doesn't feel like something that I have to worry about becoming a huge issue, but again something I should pay attention to.  AP:  6:51.
