my makeup may be flaking

I did two loops of sugarhouse. I was planning on three, but my legs did not feel good at all. Pretty pain in my right leg as the run went on.

Did 4 in the morning and 9.5 in the afternoon. I felt much better on both runs than yesterday, especially the second one. Had some localized pain in my thigh and also my groin. I finished out my run comfortably with only one strectching break. 6 weeks to go.

Felt really good on both of my runs today. I did 5.5 in the morning and then 9 in the evening. It looked like it might snow on me in the evening, but it held off.

Just did 8 in the morning and then played racquetball for the first time in two weeks. It wasn't too bad, considering.

I woke up this morning with a swollen face and a rash all over my body. My eyes were so swollen that I could barely see. Great! Wonderful! I have only one day of antibiotics left then its back to feeling terrible I guess. My plan today was to try a 20-miler in flats to see how it felt. I was unconcerned about the pace. I made it four miles but I just couldn't go any further, I felt terrible. I turned around and jogged back very slowly to the math department. I brieflly thought about doing laps of sugarhouse but decided that there was no point. All my muscles cramped up and I felt terrible. I really, really dislike how I feel right now.

I woke up feeling bad again and went to see the doctor. She gave me a hernia exam (negative) and then gave me a referral to a PT (I couldn't get an appointment until the 31st!). I described my other symptoms but she thought I would be ok and said that I should keep running.

I went home and ate some chocolate before going running. I ran to sugarhouse park and felt a little tight. When I got to the park I noticed that there was such a massive imbalance in my muscles that my right foot wanted to point almost totally out (at right angle to my left). I didn't like what this did to my knee. I focused on rotating the foot back straight (which is how it normally is) and all the pain suddenly went away. For the last 4 miles of my run I felt amazing. I didn't feel sick and my running for was smooth and fast like it was a few months ago. Quite a turnaround.

Did a long hard run in the snow along the Jordan River. I felt goo until about the 10-mile mark when my butt began to get tight and I had to back off. The pace was surprisingly comfortable, however.
