     With SGM coming up next week I haven't done any up or downhill running. I was a little worried about my ITB problem since running downhill is always much harder on it. I started by running the 1 mile out to the big mile long highway hill near my house in 8:14. Then

down: 7:07

up:     8:35

down: 6:46

up:     8:30

down: 6:34

up:     8:21

then the mile home in 7:07.  Most of the mile is a 6% grade so the uphill miles were a harder effort than the downhills. I took a short rest at the bottom each time. My knee [IT Band] did fine but I was way tired the last 2 miles. I can tell how out of shape I am. 7:39 pace overall for all 8.

PM   3 hours of hiking out hunting. ITB got slightly sore a couple of times on some downhill.

Some day I would like to run SGM!

Hope the IT doesn't give you too much problem in the race!
