I run therefore, I am!

ran 5 easy miles this morning to try to get my IT band to loosen up. It felt ok after 2-3 miles.

ran 1 easy mile on the track tonight and did 4x400 at a 1:20 pace. I didnt want to hurt my leg so I didnt push the pace. Then I waited 6 minutes and ran 2x800 at a 2:31 and a 2:28.  I cooled down 1.5 miles and stretched the crap out of my legs. By the way, that track I ran on tonight seemed small after being on the oval track for so long.

I swam 1 mile without stopping. It was very hard but I pushed myself and did it. then I did a 300 yard swim after that.  Then I ran 2 miles very slow because my IT band will not give up!  I am in some serious trouble here!  Im going to take lots of Ibuprophen today and stretch. Thats all I got to say about that!

Ok I ran 7.5 easy slow miles in 52:18 I think thats about a 7 minute mile.  The back of my knee has a dull ache in it so Im going to ice it and take more ibuprophen.

Did a loop around my area up to Day Break.

This morning I swam 4x200 yards, 1x350, 1x250 and then finished off with a 200 yards.

I poured 6 yards of concrete on a porch cap on a house just up emigration canyon and saw christina running!  Shes on this blog by the way. Very funny. I was very envious of her. I would much rather be running up that canyon then pouring concrete!   After that I poured a foundation in herriman 46 yards and then came home laced up my shoes and my wife made me edge the lawn before I ran so I told her yes mam!

I ran 11.25 miles in 1:16 minutes My stupid garmin 305 watch is broken and it wont pick up a satelite signal. I had to pull the new garmin 405 out of the box that im giving my wife for mothers day and use it. Dont anyone tell her ok! She wont read this so im safe! Its an awesome watch. I put it back in the package and she wont even know!   I may have to fight her for it!

I ran an easy 4 miles tonight and i think my allergies are kicking in because the longer I was breathing that air, the more i felt congested.  I didnt time myself so there.

I ran this morning starting out at 5:40 am. I reloaded the software on my garmin watch and its working now exept its not registering my miles right.  It was working fine while I was running and when I tried loading it to the computer something happened and it wont tell me my times at all. weird!  I ran a total of 15.5 and it was good to see all the people out running this morning!  My legs are still in denial from Boston so im going to do some serious sodium intake this week and try to get them stretched out as much as I can.
