5 miles walking on the TM, last mile barefoot.  After every mile (every 15 minutes) stopped and did plank, push-ups, etc.  Watched Amazing Race - I have GOT to get on that show!

This was literally the only 2 hours I stopped doing work the whole day - to walk, foam-roll, ice, shower, and blog.  Now back to the work.  

PS - I wish my knee would feel better.  I think it may be a bit of tendonitis rolled in with the ITB.

15 minutes on the bike, 1 mile walking, 1.5 miles running. .5 miles walking.  I am so slow on the TM, I had to work my way up to 10 minute miles.

I want a new leg.  I am really sick of this.  I'm not really sure what to do.  Should I keep running like I have been - as much as I can pain-free and then walk?  That seems to be consistently about a mile.  Or should I rest completely?  I feel I have already given it adequate rest and I am so ready to just get back to a regular running routine.  Today my ankle tendonitis decided to add to the knee tendonitis and ITB.  Grreeaattt.

Ran with Lisa, Anya, and baby Denali. I got to push the bob. :-)  It dominates.  Burt is probably right, time for some time off.  My knee sucks.

50 minutes on the recumbant bike while reading my articles for class.  Strength stuff after 20 and 40 mins. Knee was starting to squawk so cut the hour short.

Time for another epic Halloween with the Winters!  We'll see how my 'Gilly'costume turns out. :-)
