Ouch
4 easy miles - 41:00 - 10:15 pace
Today was supposed to be a long run but between my IT band which is still acting up a little and my glut it wasn't happening. Think I'll take the rest of the week off and rest my legs for the race.

It band felt good today after Tuesdays pain, only pain today was the cold weather. It did feel good to be outside though. My calves felt especially loose today, not sure what that was all about but I liked it. I think I'll be ready...well at least capable of running the Jig.

It's Chilly Out
4 easy miles - 34:02 - 8:30 pace
It was stinking cold out today. I was considering running my intervals at the track Satruday but wow, not sure if that's a good idea. Regardless, it did feel good to be back on the pavement. At about 2.5 miles I was convinced I was gonna stop at 3 miles, the hills were killing my quads and the air was killing my lungs. Then I got my second wind and the last mile was actually my fastest and it finally started feeling good to run again.....Look out Jig!

California running
2 miles
Running through this ranch was difficult, so hilly. The downhills killed me knee, so I did a lot of walking downhill but ran back uphill. Good speed workouts though.

First long run in a bit
10 easy miles - 97:20 - 9:45 pace
First time I ran over 5 miles in a few weeks. Felt great, no pain anywhere. I think running ever day for a few days did my body some good
