I ran out towards the stake center and points beyond, legs were very dead and I had nothing going in them today! IT band was marginal and didn't really start bothering me that much although it always feels like it is on the verge of hurting and then it usually does around mile 6 or seven... I could only manage 4 miles today one was because I was having some stomach issues, and by the way I barley made it home, and then time constraints and the dead leg issue. Average pace was 9:13 and that involved some walking towards the end because of the stomach issues:-( I am alittle frustrated, I want to get this thing feeling better so I can get going on some long runs, if I can't then I might have to bow out of St. George, but I will have to see I think I still have some time before I get to that point...

See your later and have a Happy Independence Day!!!

Hang in there Bro. You still have plenty of time, don't give up it will get better. Good job at getting out, some running is better than none at all.
