Ran with Paula this morning.  My leg felt terrible.  I probably should have stopped but didn't.  Stretched good afterwards and will stretch again tonight.  I felt great on Friday and not sure what happened.   Very Frustrating.

Ran with the BBK's.  We met at 5:15 for warm up and I felt really good.  I had stretched and scraped yesterday and took some IB before I left.  The problem from yesterday was not there at all but my hip flexor really bothered me as well as some residual soreness  in my knee.    Will keep doing the same and take tomorrow very easy.  It was fun to see everyone again because it had  been a week since we came home.

Ran with Paula.  I had decided that today would be short and easy, in order to see how my leg would do.  I stretched and scraped again last night.  The hip flexor is definitely related to the IT Band and it pulling on the hip flexor.  It did not flare up until the IT band was already hurting.  The IT band starting hurting around 2 miles.  The good news is I know what to do for an upset IT band, the bad news is I really am tired of dealing with it.

Happy Running!

Met the BBK's for our Thursday work out.  I went at 5:15 for the extra warm up and then after rejoining the others we ran for about a mile and then did what was supposed to be a 2 mile tempo run.  I opted for a 2 mile easy run and then finished up with a couple more easy paced miles.  I felt better today.  I did not get home until 10 pm last night so no scraping or stretching.  I took IB before leaving to run this morning and I felt pretty good but did not want to over do.  Hopefully this is a good sign.

Met Paula for our Friday run.  We had a light drizzle the entire time but  it was not bad.  The leg/knee flared up after two miles and was pretty painful.  I am sure that the IB I am taking on Tuesdays/Thursdays is masking some of the pain.  I am working on getting a massage scheduled and if history is correct, this usually helps.

 Also - Signed up for Hobble Creek today and overnighted my SG registration earlier this week.  Getting excited for this summer!

Ran with Cheris, Dean, Michelle M, Julie, Lynette and Lynette this  morning.  We got out early before the ran for what was supposed to be an easy 8 mile run.  It turned quickly into and 8 mile tempo run.   My last two miles were 7:33 and 7:10.   

I felt pretty good and had taken IB before.   My husband worked my hip and leg over pretty good last night but there is still some tighness and effects on my knee.  I have a massage scheduled for Tuesday and then we will see where I am at.
