I wanted to run Loafer Canyon this morning but considering the problems I am having with my IT band I played it safe and just stayed along canal road, so nice and flat. I was able to run a little farther before I started having issues with my IT band so that is a good sign but once it flared up I had to stop and stretch, but I was able to go farther between stretches than I have in previous days so that is good as well... My average pace was 8:26 and my average HR rate was 136, total time was 43:23 after returning home I hopped on the elliptical for 20 minutes with no pain with IT band and then some strength training on my upper half. Even though I wasn't able to train as hard as I would like I feel I got in a good workout this morning and I shouldn't be losing any fitness...

We will see what tomorrow brings, see ya later.

Nice workout! Sounds like you are keeping that IT band in check. Keep it up.

Clay, your in good shape, be careful with the ITB. What is your next race?
