I ran 6.54 miles easy this morning.

I got a VERY DEEP massage focusing on my left IT Band this morning. He did some bone-scraping which made me want to slug him, but I knew I needed it. He told me I would probably be very sore tomorrow. He did loan me a portable TEMS to work the left leg.

I did the TEMS for 30 minutes tonight and then iced my leg....hope this works.

I was very sore this morning, especially my PSAOS muscle which I think he worked too hard yesterday. I needed to work early so I will rest today.

It was 41 degrees this morning. I ran 5.11 nice,easy miles, most of them with Bob. My IT Band loosened up much quicker today after the beating it took Tuesday. I am hoping this is a positive sign.

I am just planning on taking it easy in St.George Saturday. I am worried, however, that the heat will impact some of you who have worked so hard for a PR. Here's hoping for cooler weather.

It was HOT, and I don't handle heat well. I was doing OK through the half and then everything fell apart. I had to walk A LOT in the 2nd half. I only finished because this puts me only 1 year away from the 10-Yr club so 1 year closer to not worrying about a lottery anymore.
