Personal:

I have been running approx. 10 years. I started running in HS for X-Country and track. After high school, I took 1 year completely off and several were just leisurely runs a few times per week. The past two years, I became pretty serious about competeting. I am 24 years old. I am student in a doctoral program in Clinical Psychology. I hope to incorporate mental and physical health as a psychologist (when I finally finish school). 

I Love Running, it keeps me sane!

I ran at pretty fast clip early this morning... average 7:04 pace for 8 miles. I just felt like running hard. Felt really good, my it-bands are still a little sensitive. I need a foam roller.

+ Taught a Vinyasa Flow class - 60 minutes.

took it easy today... supposedly one is to reverse tapper post-marathon... which is what I'm doing. Plus my dang it-band is still kind tight, that is a hard place to stretch.

I think next week I'll move into higher mileage... if anyone reads this is 2 weeks of reverse tappering post-marathon sufficient, too much, too little?

Ran about 8.4 - 8.5 miles this morning. It was 1hr. 7 mins., not sure the exact distance. I'm in Paso Robles this weekend, so ran through a little different scenery, plus it was very crisp out in the morning. The side of my hip, which I think is the IT-band started hurting again around mile 5... I wondering if a massage would help?
