I feel pretty good, still sore but comparatively speaking much better than yesterday. I've been running 7 miles with no major issues it's just so strange this one time on a short run I just about kill myself? I did ice it Monday night which seemed to help today when I got out of bed but I'm still feeling dicey.
Stretch! Warm your muscles up a little bit (maybe on a bike, or some running in place, or a nice walk) and do some good downward dog, forward fold, pigeon pose, lunge/warrior poses; some good hip, glute, low back, and hamstring openers. Maybe you just had an off day... something not quite firing exactly right, conditions slightly different, finally hit some mileage threshold, who knows. Might do some glute strengthening too if it continues to come back.

This ends your unsolicited advice

I ran yesterday, some 30s intervals, about 4.5 miles. Tomorrow, hill repeats. Mmm, hill repeats. I only run 3.5 miles or so when I do them, but they are exhausting. In a good way. Looks like this weekend's "long run" is 8-10 miles on Sunday.
