Personal:

I was a single mom.  Two times over.  We all survived, despite the fact that I make atrocious decisions.  Then, I met a man I didn't deserve.  And he loves me so much.  And I love him. We lived in sin and bought a house for two years then hired a judge and officially got married(to our great delight and also the delight of our mothers), then a month later he was diagnosed with cancer.  Well we survived all that and he's 100% fine now.  But, we're really out of shape and really busy with kids and jobs and running just isn't my priority and there's so many other layers to all of it, but I'm running anyway.  This is my failure blog now.  Just to log that one run a week if I snag it.  
Somehow that matters and I want that run recorded.

9:29 average pace.  Very slow.  Left hip/buttock feels very tight again today.  I am worried about it.  It is not really pain, just tightness.  I think it is my piriformis but there is no sciatic nerve involvement because the pain does not radiate and it is not form-altering.  I think it is a result of using this hip to compensate for the plantar fascitis in my r hip.  Concentrated on running with good form and being very very careful not to favor anything.  I noticed yesterday when I had to do a deep squat and deadlift a patient on our cot up stairs I use my butt to lift and I totally felt it in that hip.  The discomfort is definitely muscular in origin.The hip never really loosened up while running.  Will be taking it super-easy all this week until Sunday's and work on stretching this hip out and resting it.  I am NOT interested in another injury.

Me too. Stretching as much as possible but my left butt is in knots. Not good.

Better place that garlic around your neck, to ward off the evil ITB spirit :DD. Better yet have your hunny give a nice long massage.
