I could tell the leg wasgoing to do better right from the start today, things felt alot better today. The didnot flare up until mile 4 but I was able to control it more than it controled me today. So I will keep useing the roller each day and ice to see if things will calm down more. I think we should be good to go by SGM time.

For todays run I went  up over Harry's Hill into Salem  and back home. I felt pretty good until mile 8 and the left leg I.T. Band flared up again, really sore today. Not sure what to do I will keep iceing and rolling on the big blue roller. It was a nice morning and still a great dispite the I.T. Band discomfort.

I did a golf course loop today, very nice temps for running. I did 25 min on the bowflex upper body, and 200 crunches.

I have been doing the eliptical all week trying to get my ITB to rest, it did feel good today really not an issue, so I hope that means it is getting better.

Nice longer run today I got out a bit on the late sie of the mor. 8:30. Lots of runners out for the Spanish Fork Half Marathon. Seem to get bigger each year, it was diffenitly a cool on e this morning. Did feel good after a warm up though. My ITB did pretty good did not bother me much until about the last mile. I ran out to Rambo Jr's house in Salem, then back to Gu Corner, then a Golf Course loop to home. After the run I did the ice treatment on the ITB and rolled both legs really good.

Ran out to mini gu corner then did a golf course loop. The ITB is still there and a little sore, does not hurt to walk, only after a few miles of running. I did another 25 on the bowflex and 200 crunches, and ended the workout with ice on the ITB and the big blue roller.

I ran out to Rambo Jr house again in Salem looked to see if anyone was awake. Did'nt look as though anyone was stirring around so I headed back to gu corner. Refuled and did a golf couse loop, the wind was blowing hard there this morn but a nice tail wind coming down canal road. The ITB was not an issue until about the last mile, it seems to take a longer into the run for it to be a pain, so hopefully by SGM it will be ready to go. All in all be a good week of training, only two more weeks until SGM. Starting to feel the excitment again.

Today I ran up to thr golf course then took the little side trail along the river. Nice run and very comfy conditions. The last couple of days my leg has not givin me any trouble at all, felt strong and good today. Been a while sense I have felt this good, So I hope that things have finally healed. I did 25 min on the bowflex upper body and 200 crunches. I am getting excited for SGM I really want to do well, I wont set any predictions just yet. Maye just keep that to myself for now.

Today I ran out past mini gu corner and back, another nice run without leg problems.  I hope they stay feeling good I enjoy running but when the body is feeling good it's a runner's high. I will keep icing and using the big blue roller.

Another run up past the golf course and along the river trail. Nice fall weather running, however I am soaking in all the sun I can. It won't be to long before things start to turn colder. The legs are feeling good should be ready for SGM in a week I did spend some time on the bowflex today 25 min and 200 crunches. Time for some ice and the big blue roller.

Nice easy early morn long run, nice cool temps very enjoyable morn. I ran to Little Bro's house, AKA (Rambo Jr.), his foot is still not doing well but he tried a couple of miles. I will miss him and my son at SGM. My legs are feeling good and I think they will be ready for next week, it's hard to believe that it's time for the marathon. The summer has gone by fast this year. Next weeks temps in St. George are suppose to be upper 90's to 100. It may be a hot run this year when the sun pops up. We will do our best to be ready. It's been a fun year doing the slam just one more and who's knows maybe again next year.
