1.5 miles running around the neighborhood with Cooper. Knee just barely starting to come on at the end. Then did 90 minutes of hot yoga with Jordanne.  It felt really hard today, really hot and I wanted to quit (but didn't!). But then I had a headache the rest of the day, probably from being dehydrated after sweating 10 gallons of sweat.  My hamstrings are SO sore from yesterday's P90X.

Ate lots of pizza and bad food today at book club, but 7 days of working out in a row!

2.5 miles walking on the TM while watching Gossip Girl. :-)  I can't believe how sore I still am.

My knee hurts today.  Blech.  Maybe its time to suck it up and go to the doctor, even though I feel like I know what he will say (ITB), what he will do (PT), and what the PT will do, and I am already doing those things.  So my workout streak (8 days!) comes to an end.

I got my Hood to Coast acceptance letter today!  YIPPEE!

Took Cooper on a walk around the block (.7), then met Lisa and Anya for 2.5 miles of running at Lisa's house.  My knee was done by then so they went on, SO SICK OF THIS.  I'm going to keep doing my own thing until Thanksgiving, then if its not improving I'll try the doctor again.  I found a few new exercises and I think I need to fully stop running for a little while.  So frustrating.
