I ran out towards Payson today  but my goal was to take it easy and not run more than 3 or 4 miles and just keep the pace nice and easy, I think I was able to do that... Average pace was 8:48 with my HR average at 138 total time was 35:25, my IT Band was pretty good today, no pain. I will be testing it out on a long run tomorrow, hopefully a 15 miler, and then I think that will be the true test and I'm crossing my fingers;-) I haven't noticed my Planters the last week either so I feel like I am on the road to recovery, knock on wood of course.

I finished up with some upper body weight training on the Bowflex and iced and rolled my leg, see ya tomorrow

Currently knocking on wood...great to hear you are feeling better Clay. Hope the long run tomorrow goes well, I'm sure it will.

Clay, goog luck on your long run? Question? do you stop and stretch the during your long run? I have read that run 10 to 15 minutes warmup and then stop and stretch.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

By the way, we have a biggest loser challenge going on? Goal weight on 1 oct, getting ready for the George, got any pounds you want to shed, join the challenge, current weight and goal weight.
