Went running outside in the afternoon.  Was nice out and it felt good to finally run outside this week.  Although the running outdoors seems to be harder on my back then the treadmill.

50 mins

Went and did my birthday run at the gym on the treadmill, this seems to be less aggrivating on the sciatic.  Felt decent, a little tightness but not bad.

I met the Orem girls at Maries house, we ran up to the water tower and got on the trails.  I had a hard time in the snow.  And I can tell I am going to pay for the mileage, sciatic pain has already set in.  But it was fun.

50 mins on the elliptical at home.

I think I need to stay off the road for a while because that seems to be the only time the sciatic flares up, so indoors for me for a while.

Went to the gym today, started on the elliptical only because there was no treadmills open.  Did that for about 10 mins before a tm was open then ran for 4 miles and pool ran for 40 mins.  Sciatic pain is better, still there but better.  Went to Marv yesterday and my right hip was higher than the other.  Can I tell you that I am so sick of this.  I don't even care about running that many miles,  I just want to be pain free and maybe run 40 miles a week.  That isn't asking to much is it?!?

Treadmill miles again as well as 20 mins on the elliptical.  My elliptical at home is differant than the one at the gym and it made the top of my right foot hurt.  It works the tibialis anterior more.  I used the gym elliptical and didn't bother the foot.

Did weights lower and abs/back

5 miles on the treadmill.  Sciatic is bothering me just a bit.  Did not feel good, I wanted to stop after a mile.  Then I lifted lower and did abs/back.  I finished up with 25 mins on the elliptical.

Did yoga last night.  I went to Marv, the PT this morning my right side was locked up and high causing that left sciatic to hurt.  He fixed it and then I came home and did the elliptical for 40 mins.

Pm stretching

Went to the rec and did 5 miles on the treadmill, felt awful, heart rate was really high and the sciatic hurt a little.  I think I am just going to not run for a while and just cross train.  This makes me sad but this thing is just not getting better.  Pool ran for 20 mins with my son he doggy paddled next to me and we had races.  He is quick so I had to work hard to keep up.  Did weights lower and abs/back.

Day of crosstraining- 45 mins on the elliptical follow by 30 mins of pool running and 20 mins of swimming.  I also did this killer ab workout in the pool.  I went up to the Nucca chiros afterwards hoping this will help the sciatic issue.

Sciatic did feel better today, as well as my neck.  I did 60 mins on the elliptical at home, lots of fun.

Ran on the treadmill for 1.5 miles, decided I would build up really slow and see if my sciatic handles that.  It has felt better this weekend.  Then I did 30 mins on the elliptical and 20 mins of pool running followed by swimming for 20 mins.

Went to the rec center and did 2 miles easy, sciatic was good but could feel it just a hair after.  Then I biked for 15 mins, which might have been why I could feel the sciatic.  Then I did the elliptical for 35 mins and lifted upper/lower and abs/back. 

pm stretching

I was really tired and did not want to do anything today.  I got on my elliptical at home and made it 40 mins.  then called it quits.  I thought that was pretty good.

Went to the gym today, didn't feel that great.  No morning sickness yet just tired and don't feel good when I get hot.  But I ran 2 miles on the TM, 15 mins on the elliptical, 35 mins of pool running and 6 laps of swimming.  I felt a lot better in the pool because it kept me nice and cool.    Sciatic is not bad but can feel it just a bit, also feel stuff in the hammy and adductor on the same side.  I have had that along with the sciatic I think they are related, like brother and sister.
