Ran up towards Pine Valley. Went 3 miles up & back. Pushed the pace a little on the way-up, but not enough to say it wasn't "easy". On the way back to the house I did 3 pick-ups/ 400m each at about 5:30 pace. I was a little paranoid during the pickups becuase of my IT Band issue, but I luckly didn't have any problems and my knee had no pain during run as well. However, my IT Band was a little tight at the end of the run, but a little stretching took care of it.
In the morning I had an appointment with the Podiatrist for orthotics but I decided to cancel it. I thought I would try a new pair of SuperFeet inserts for $30 before I spend $300 for custom orthotics. They felt great on the run today.
