This is the best run I've had in awhile.  Hooray, it is about time!  I ran my 6 mile loop "backwards" so I could go up the 1.5 mile hill.  I'm doing more of these to hopefully become a stronger hill runner.  You can tell from my splits when the hills end!  Need to change that!

It was nice and cool this morning.  No major lower leg pain.  A great run over all. Iced.  Need to stretch out this afternoon.

Yesterday was 2 steps back, but today you are feeling good. YEAH!!! Honestly, I think there are just a lot of aches and pains to running. It is really hard to know what to take seriously and what not to. It seems like if we ignore it, it ends up being major. if we think it is major and worry about it, it is nothing! SO HARD TO KNOW. I try to go with duration: how long has it hurt? Does it hurt all day or just during certain activities (running)? Does it hurt the entire run or does it loosen up? ETC....

Hopefully ALL is well!!!! It was great to see you last weekend while we ran up the canyon. You looked so cute. I told Wendy, "she is so dang skinny!" Wendy agreed and loved your outfit. Running is all about STYLE.

YAY!!! So HAPPY to hear you had a GREAT run! :) I agree with Kelli.

WAY to take care of the little things like icing and stretching...it's so important to keep the equipment in good shape!
