I didn't run this morning cuz my leg wasn't feeling the greatest, so when I got home from work I jumped on the elliptical for 40 minutes just to see how it felt... The pain was there just like when I run but it loosened up after a few minutes and felt okay, just like when I run so I was able to go 4.10 in 40 minutes. After that I did my upper body workout and then rolled my leg for a bit on the big foam roller, it kind of feels like an IT band issue, at least its in the same area... I will run in the morning and see how it does.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to Mini Gu this morning, I felt pretty good the IT band was a little sore at first but after it got warmed up it seemed to do alright. I kept the pace up beat and the last mile back to the house I had to pick up the pace to MP so I could see my kids off on the bus... After seeing them off I headed out to the old barn on canal road to tack on a couple a more miles to finish off the 8 plus miles, I did some stretching and then some leg raises and called it a day. My average pace was 8:19 with my total time at 1:07:48 and one MP mile at 7:50...

 

See ya tomorrow.

After work I jumped on the elliptical and ran 4.15 miles in 40 minutes and then I ran on the treadmill for 20 minutes and ran 2.30 miles, average pace was around 8:40 on the treadmill, so 60 minutes total between the two.  After that I did my upper body weight training and then some push-ups, my IT band was a bit of a bother at first but seemed to loosen up after awhile. Its still a bit tender right now though.... It's was a good workout, I was sweating like a fool!

See ya tomorrow.

No run today... My leg and hamstring were just not handling it well enough to chance a run. Maybe Monday. I just don't want to make this injury worse than it already is.

See ya Monday.
