Out towards Payson Park but I stopped short, ITBand hurt like Hell the first 3 miles but then it loosened up on the way back. I had 2 MP Miles on the inward half at 8:08, 7:58, my average pace was 8:50 with a total time of 55:04. I finished up with some upper body weight training and some push-ups. I don't know about a canyon run tomorrow... I might wait another week..

See you tomorrow.

This morning was a struggle... The old ITBand almost won but I stayed with it, it took about 3 miles or so to get it loosened up to were it was tolerable. I didn't set any speed records but I got her done, average pace was 9:11 with a total time of 1:05:24. Hoping for a better day tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Out towards Payson park but I cut out the rollers, ITBand took a little over 2 miles to loosen up and so it was tolerable. Average pace was 8:45 with 2 MP miles 8:17, 8:18, legs are still feeling heavy and tired but I was able yo get through it.

See you tomorrow.

Harrys Hill so I could see how the ITBand will take some downhill, it was okay but I was pretty slow coming down as my legs just feel so tired and slow turnover... I got her done so thats something. My average pace was 9:02 with a total time of 57:48, I had one MP mile at 8:05, pretty pathedic on this course. I usually rock the downhill portion and the flat, but not today. I finished up with some upper body weight training ans some push-ups.

See you tomrrow.

Usual route but I felt a lot better than I did last week, ITBand was a little less hurtful at the first this morning which was a pleasant surprise. My pace towards the end was a little slower than I would like but my legs seemed to hold up a little better today. My average pace was 8:55 with a total time of 2:23:31, the last few miles were tough but I hung in there. I hope I am turning the corner on this darn thing.

See you Monday.
