Muscle knots

Perhaps it's the cold weather, but I've had a couple of problems in the last two weeks with muscles tightening up. Last week it was the hamstring behind the knee.

This morning it was one of those muscles at the top of the back. It seized up when I was getting dressed. I felt sure it would hurt when I was running. As it turns out, my back felt better all through the run than it did for any part of the rest of the day.

Would endorphins explain that? Or is it just a case of warmer muscles working more smoothly?
