I need to make it a priority in my workouts... making your chicken sausage tacos tonight... can't wait : )Lizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10186456510876605883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626288962348691125.post-3604530834864684042010-03-08T10:01:12.354-05:002010-03-08T10:01:12.354-05:00Hey Lizzy!

You can take this for what it's worth since I am not a serious runner right now, but when I was training for my half marathon, I did experience a lot of lower back pain. Not just when running but practically all the time. If I remember correctly this is called piraformis syndrome and it's very common among women. The only thing that seemed to ease it was lots of stretching!<br /><br />But I will say that as I got more involved with strength training, one of the first things I learned (from New Rules of Lifting for Women) is that the majority of females do not have a very strong back side compared to the front side of our bodies. The beginning stages of New Rules really focus on strengthening the back (upper, lower, and hamstrings). I have noticed that as my whole backside and core have gotten stronger, I have never (crossing fingers) felt that lower back pain when running or after a long run. So maybe it could be that you just need to work on your core and back strength a little more?<br /><br />Again, I'm sure you know a lot more about running-related injuries than I do, so feel free to disregard if this is not helpful! <br /><br />Have a great week :)Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02051120158991515878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626288962348691125.post-89571704861981251852010-03-08T09:07:52.577-05:002010-03-08T09:07:52.577-05:00I was in your old stomping grounds and you were in...I was in your old stomping grounds and you were in my current!
