     I'm planning to not run much this week to make sure my IT band is settled down from the race. It was sore all day Saturday after the race and a bit sore on Sunday while hiking in Zions but has felt fine since. I ran 1 mile yesterday and everything felt fine so I ran 2.5 today at 8:26 pace and everything felt good. I was planning to keep my mileage low for the next 3 or 4 weeks anyway.

     PM 15 miles on the bike.

     Played basketball last night and tried to run the court hard to get a good workout. Everything felt good and my legs felt very fresh. It seems to be better on the IT band because it's not as constant as running. This morning I ran 2.5 miles again making sure I quite before my ITB gets a chance to heat up. I feel recovered from the race but don't want to risk it. 8:23 pace.

     Ran another easy 2 1/2 this morning on ice. It started raining yesterday and through the night but the temperature was below freezing so everything is covered with ice. They even closed school due to the ice on roads. I hate rain in the winter. I like snow. Rain is great the rest of the year. I guess I shouldn't complain about any moisture we get. I have screws in the bottom of one pair of my running shoes and it works quite well on ice. I'm still being cautious with the ITB. No way I'm doing a bike ride on this.
