Had a pretty good running week... Sun: 1.8 easy on the TM Mon: TKD Tue: 3.46 easy, TKD practice at a friend's house Wed: off Thurs: 4.25 run while on vacation. Very nice! Fun-fun-fun! Fri: off Sat: 2.7 easy on the TM Speed still picking up on the TM and out and about. Should be time for another race soon... Hunting that PR! While out on vacation this week, I was having more pain in my left him than usual. Things got very sore after my run on Thursday and then sitting in the car for several hours. I was getting really concerned, thinking that maybe I was having some major IT band issues up top... until my BF pointed out the egg-sized bruise on my L hip just over where the IT band runs... and just where I was having pain! D'oh! I am happy to report that the bruise is fading and my hip pain has gone away! All leg parts seem to be in working order... now I seem to be fighting something respiratory... coughing at night, nasty green-yellow phlegm... etc. *sigh* I guess I can say that I'm training myself to run through all sorts of issues...

Obiebyke - First race -wow! Great time, too! I think I remember every step of my first race. Only 3 runs this week for me. Monday: 6 miles Tues, Wed, Thursday: bad weather and work committments Friday: 8.2 miles - my longest run ever! Saturday: off Sunday: Went to run the course of the race I'm doing in 2 weeks and the course is covered in snow and ice! I hope its clear for the run because it has a couple of 500m hills that might be a bit challenging if icy! Having some knee trouble which is getting me a bit anxious about the race so I think I'm going to take it a little easier. Have a good week, all!
