New running month!  This next week I am cutting my miles to about 40.  I am sad, but I do not want this IT problem to get any worse. 

I biked for 30 min.  I then took an extremely slow and easy pace on the treadmill.  The IT is bothering me on the outside of my right knee.  It felt strange for about the first 1 1/2 miles, then the pain went away.  I have iced my leg, but I don't know what else I should so.  Please give advice!

Slow and easy TM workout.  I have been stretching and icing the IT band.  I hope the problem doesn't get any worse.  I threw out my old shoes and that seems to help a little.

The "IT" feels better when it is warmed for about a mile.  I think that if I keep it nice and easy, it will stay cool. 

I think that later I will run another 5 or so miles.

Has anyone ever felt like they are dragging a piano behind them as they run?  The last few days have felt this way.  Maybe it's because my body isn't used to the decrease in miles.  I just feel really sluggy.

I am on day 2/week 3 of the PC.  I am kind of going on my own schedule, so it might take me a little more than 6 weeks to get to 100.  Today when I did my push ups I felt like someone was sitting on my back.  I did them anyway!  25, 16, 18, 14, 28. 

One of the things I like about teaching dance is I get to stretch!  Yesterday I had most of my classes practice their yoga stances.  As I listen to all of my students cry becuase of the pain they are in, I still mange to breathe deep and relax.  I am one mean dance teacher :).  (It's good for them). 

I went to the gym in the evening and did another 5 miles.  I followed with the stationary bike.  I journeyed down to the weight room and did reps and reps and reps for my arms.  They were really tired from the push-ups earlier in the day, but I worked my arms and core HARD.

Rest day!  I will be attending a spinning class later this evening. 

Maybe I'll do some abs.

I love spinning class!  I take cycling from a lady that kicks my trash!  It's the kind of workout that leaves you feeling like you just got out of a swimming pool.  I enjoy working different muscle groups, and remembering how fast my legs can really go.   I recommend cycling to anyone! 

I ran 6 miles today, felt weak after my hard workout last night. 

PC Day 3/week 3  I am not where I would like to be with this challenge, so I think I will repeat week 3. 

Lots of weight reps. 

I feel great today!  My leg is still acting up.  I don't know how long I will be able to run tomorrow.

10 quick miles on the TM this morning.  

Later tonight I will add some miles, and maybe some swimming.  

I went later and added another 4.5 to mile base.  Knees are hurting and left heel.  Maybe I am on the TM way to much.
