I've tried to wear Athleta stuff (because of their affiliation with Girls on the Run) but to be honest, I just haven't been super happy with anything I've bought. No issues with quality, it just doesn't fit me quite right.

It is run by Final Stretch races- they actually have a lot of races in the twin cities area! It would be great to meet up at packet pick up! I'm so excited to go back to Duluth!<br />juliambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06287294509632710085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494535194216527532.post-45611973925657722772013-05-22T11:01:24.388-07:002013-05-22T11:01:24.388-07:00Thanks for the tip on the pain!

I hadn't heard of an athleta race or a 10 miler....Which would have been nice when I was planning my Grandma's Marathon training (let me know if you want to meet up at packet pickup for grandma's on friday!) I've never bought Athleta clothing, although I might start since they offer a discount for yoga instructors (which I am) at the same time, I like old navy's stuff for yoga just fine (for running clothes I stick to nike). I like small races (and grandma's) big races can be inspiring, but they tend to have more issues.

I had a really severe case of it last fall, but there are less severe cases too. It's a deep aching that feels deep, deep in the glute. I went to physical therapy for it and my PT had me doing some exercises to strength my medius gluteus (clams and leg raises, mostly). You could try that to see if it helps at all (while you are doing the exercise, the pain might become more acute--I think that's a sign that you are targeting the right/affected muscle).
