     I did a 15 mile bike ride this afternoon mostly on packed snow.  I felt good on the ride and went at a fairly hard effort. My heart rate stayed in the 150s which is close to tempo effort for me. I've hardley done any running or biking the past 2 weeks. Thats probably why my legs felt so fresh today. It was also a very nice day. The temp. started at 3 deg this morning but by the time I went it was close to 30 and calm with lots of sun.

     It's been just over a week since my last short run so I tried it again today. The ITB pain in my knee started to come on again at just over 2 miles so I quit right away. I did 30 min. on the eliptical.

     Headed out for vacation in San Diego.

    My wife and I arrived in San Diego. We walked a couple of miles on the beach.

     We stayed at a hotel on the beach in San Diego. There was a big storm moving through but all the rain came at night and while we ate breakfast. Once we left the restraunt the sun came out. Temps were in the 60s and it was very nice. We only had one short rain shower all day. My wife and I went for a long walk on the beach and there were so many runners that I couldn't take it any longer and had to try a run. I only got 1.5 miles and I could tell my IT band was going to act up so I quit running and walked back to the room. It's been 3 weeks since Painter's and this has gotten no better. I'm not sure what to do. I guess I'll just keep doing the stretching, strengthening, and rolling and give it more time. I've heard massage can help and I think I may try to find somebody good at sports massage. Ended up walking a lot of miles the rest of the day throughout Balboa park.

     It rained again a lot of the night but cleared up again and got sunny. We spent some more time on the beach with nice weather. Got in a couple more miles walking. We headed out in the afternoon and made it back to Las Vegas where we spent the night.
