Saw the PT last night and got the glute worked on. Of course you can never replicate the actual pain and precise location but I got the area worked over pretty good.

Today is workout day and I debated whether or not to give myself one more day or to go for it. With the warm weather I opted to go with the workout today so i didn't screw up my Saturday workout.

4x1M with 90 seconds rest. Target time was 4:55...a few seconds under 10k pace. it :54; :54; :56 and :53. Everything felt just fine, glute and all. My stomach has been giving me fits for the last 36 hours so I didn't know if I was going to get through the workout on pace or at all. But everything seemed to come together.

Gutsy, Sean! But you know what you're doing. Have you considered taking some omprezole (Prilosec OTC) for the stomach? If your workouts are in the afternoon, I'd take it first thing in the morning. But for the early morning w/o's I'd take it at bedtime. It just might save you the agony and cost you nothing in performance. I wouldn't wait until a race to trial it however.

Happy to see that the hamstring is bugging you. We need you for softball :)
