Running with the reindeer...December runs!

I had issues with an obturator a couple of years ago. That's way up in the butt crease, too. I never did figure out what brought it on, but considering the problems I've had since then and the yoga poses that resolved it, my guess is it was coming from a lumbar disc.

Whatever it turns out to be, hope you get it sorted quick. You too, Bike Chick - any chance it's just the mystery aches and pains people get during a taper? I've had those every time...

I did a quick 7.7 with two bridges this morning. I got caught just as the drawbridge came up, which was annoying at first, but while I was waiting I saw a bunch of dolphins and got a call from my mom, all before the bridge came back down.

I tend to think what's going on is related to SI joint dysfunction that is, in turn, making me overwork my hamstrings which is, in turn, leading to some tendonitis. But that's a very amateur assessment based on my past hip/glute issues. I'm not overly skilled, but my web-based research keeps coming back to SI joint dysfunction and ischial tuberosity pain syndrome.
