It was cool and breezy this morning, but I was still able to wear shorts (hate the tights). I have really taken it easy this month trying to let all my injuries heal. My IT Band feels like it is now 100%. It does not bother me at all. The abdominus tendonosis now feels like my issue is more strength needed in the area so better core training is needed. I decided to run a bit farther today and while it was not fast, I was able to go the distance without pain or Ibuprofen. I have not taken any Ibuprofen since St.George and it has really helped me focus on where the issues truly are. I was starting to rely on it way too much.
I ran 10.56 miles easy and feel good about it. Hopefully I can slowly regain my speed and endurance and be strong for next year.
