     Freezing rain this morning but the road had a rough enough surface that it wasn't slick. I ran 4 miles with 0 pain all the way with walk breaks at 9:15 pace.

     PM Eliptical for 45 min.

     It rained hard a lot of the night and this morning. Fortunatly it had almost quit when I started running. I ran 4 miles again with walk breaks at a little faster pace than I have been. I finished with 0 pain again which makes it tempting to try to go farther or cut out the walk breaks but I decided my goal for the week was to end every run before any pain starts. Last week each time I did 4 miles I felt the ITB right at the end. So far this week that hasn't happened. Overall pace was 8:45. I figure I lose over a minute per mile with the walking so my actual running was probably closer to 7:45 pace

     PM   The rain cleared out and it was 40 deg. Got out in shorts and short sleeves for another short run similar to this mornings. I went 3 miles at 8:15 pace. Running pace approx. 7:15.

     It's been warm and rainy the last 2 days but cleared up and got a little colder last night. It was back in the 20s this morning so the mud from all the rain was frozen up which made it good for a mt bike ride this morning. I went for 24 miles at a fairly hard effort.

     Got out for 4 miles. I did the walk breaks again but added a minute to the running segments so I was running 4 min walking 1 min. Running pace was around 7:45. Overall pace 8:37. No pain from ITB. It feels like I could just keep going but I'm sure I would probably not get another mile before it flared up.

     I think every muscle in my upper body is a bit sore today from snowmobiling yesterday. We got after it pretty hard in the powder all day and it's the first time out this year. I didn't get out today for a run until late. I was able to get 5 miles without any ITB pain. I cut the walk breaks to one minute walking for every five running. I was tempted to go for six miles but thought I'd quit while I was still ahead. Overall pace was 8:34.

      I met my goal for the week by ending each run before any pain started.
