Evan's Hunt!

August 30, 2016 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 70s, dry, PERFECT

Comments:
Interesting day:

- scheduled a 30-minute massage with KRW, who really worked over my calves and feet. Interestingly, the RIGHT foot & calf was stiffer and more sore than the LEFT!
- I fucked up: when scheduling my massage, the time zones f'ed with my Google Calendar, and I forgot I had an 8AM networking meeting with a local doc! SHIT! Got a "missed you" msg from him after my massage. Good thing I know him fairly well, and I was able to smooth it over

Rest of the AM:
- went to Oakway to lift: 3-4 sets of basic squat (up to 125lb), abs & core, hips, and arms; then 3-4 sets of box jumps, footwork & hops, and pull-ups
- TONS of work:
- setting up for a possible CO trip (that may include some injury consults in Boulder and FoCo)
- mailer to ALL my old gait analysis clientele who never pulled the trigger (28 people going back 4 years!)
- adjusted & updated my website
- ...other stuff!

Evan led the hunt tonight. I *almost* didn't go because I was nervous about my foot and calves, which were lingering sore from the massage. But I went - and wore my new blue N2 trails.

Good but small group:

- Evan, me, Lewis
- CB, Matt T, Hammer

Ran from Evan's on college hill (near my office), through campus area (18th), to Hendricks, around by Laurelwood, then back via 24th and the Masonic Cemetary, then amazon.

Midway, I was having a fair amount of "right hip soreness". I'd love to think it was "glutes", but it felt nervy.

I then put it together:

- my stride probably got sloppy over the past couple 30+ milers
- I've felt "clunky" with respect to "pelvic neutral" - having a tough time extending my right leg
- I had some left low back pain yesterday...
- My LEFT foot is weirdly sensitive!

So mid-run, as we were getting off Ribbon, I stopped to do some side-glide back stretches...maybe 20...

Results:
- good back motions (toe touch)
- NO right hip pain, but...
- about a mile later, my foot hurt!

Seems like things were off. Since: noted a lot of nerve tension in the left leg! Hope this is all that's going on...

Really nice backyard social at Evan's (terraced yard, with a fire ring) that included a good PDX-area IPA. I ate my salad and had a beer, but didn't linger too long. Home to eat and chill out...
