Easy run on the trail this morning with the dog.  Iowa is still having some of the best weather in the country!  Have fun on your runs this week.

I haven't ran in a week.  All last week I was sick, and it's been raining pretty much non-stop since Saturday.  I'm hoping things clear up tomorrow so I can get back on the road.

Chup - good job

Dig - sorry to hear about the illness. Get well quickly.

Chub - glad to see you still out there.

I've been treating re-occurance of an old pre-running aggravation/injury by shortening runs to under an hour. Lower back pain, rt hip pain with numbness/burning on surface of rt quad. Also seems to be aggravating IT Band - I felt some twinges in outside of rt knee while standing in line for fast food. The old problem was related to carrying grandkids and standing still resulting in the back pain/quad numbness. I think back extensions cross training brought it back... had been mostly gone for almost two years... sigh. Guess its part of getting old.... but I will not let it stop me from getting out there. Did  1/2 mile chi walk, then 2 1/2 mi/40 min dreadmill at the gym - no probs then.
