Well, after taking a break last week (probably should have run a couple miles a day instead of stop completely) I am feeling much better. Last week my body just felt awful. It kind of felt like when I finished ranger school. During those 61 days you don't sleep enough for your body to do any kind of recovery, so every morning you don't really feel that sore or injured. But once you graduate and start eating and sleeping regularly again you start to hurt and it lasts two weeks or longer.

Maybe going pretty hard for the last couple of months without any real breaks was taking its tole. I really have started running seriously until last year so maybe these are "growing" pains as well.

Whatever it is I felt much better today. My Garmin 305 broke again and this time for good. So, I don't know my splits or anything else, but I mapped my run out on Gmaps-pedometer. Dang you Garmin, your watches are awesome, but they break all the time!

Well, today felt pretty good until about mile 5.5 Then my right IT band started to get stiff and I could feel it in the outer portion of my knee. I have had IT band problems before, but it has been a few years and I had to take some serious time off to let it heal up...I don't want this to start again!

I stopped and stretched a couple of times before it got too painful to continue and that allowed me to finish my shortened run. I hope this doesn't continue!

The car said my route was 8.9miles and I did it in 1:04:40. I don't think the distance is very accurate because that would mean I was running close to a 7:15 avg and it didn't feel that difficult. I can't wait to get the GPS again...

Well, got to the gym today. They weather has been awful again...so much rain. It has flooded here for the 5th time this  year...goodness.

My right leg has sure been hurting. I think it might have to do with my overpronation...maybe these shoes aren't enough support. Being injured stinks!
