I have 4 kids, 2 boys and 2 girls. 11, 9, 6 and 2. I have been married to my guy for 13 years. He is great and so supportive of my running life. He is also very active, mostly weight training and he has run 2 half marathons as well. He is very fast without training too hard. 1:28 Half Marathon!!! I am working on being able to keep up with him. Someday when are kids are older we look forward to training together.

Jillian Michaels Circuit workout. So much better than Pilates. I actually felt like I was working. I even counted calories today. I figured if I am not running I am going to watch it!

Jillian Michaels Circuit workout. Today was even better then yesterday. The workout only ends up taking me about 35 min. but it is pretty intense the whole time. Maybe tomorrow I might try to slow my movements a little and see if I still feel like I am getting a good workout.

Counting calories today and I feel great! I will be running by next week after my Dr. appt. I am trying to make the best of it this week.

So I said I wasn't going to run until I see the Dr. Well, I just couldn't stand it anymore and my IT band hasn't been hurting at all. So I promised myself even if I felt good I would only do 3 miles.

It only took about 3 strides for the pain to kick in. It was only a 3/10 so I decided to keep going. By the end of the run I had no pain just tightness. My stride felt akward and not very smooth. My foot fall sounded heavy.

I also did my Jillian Michaels workout. I am on my 4th day of her 30 day "making the cut" program. I couldn't have lived with myself if I let this "down" time in running get the best of me. Her program is supposedly meant to help you drop the last ten pounds. The first two days I had gained a half lb. so I was not very happy, but this morning I was down 2. So I guess I will stick with the program and see where it takes me.

Time 27:10 Pace 8:46 Laps 8:53, 8:33, 8:49, last .10-:53
