Felt realy slow

runfaster99 — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 19:00:00 +0000

Well, I felt a lot slower then the time indicated. Leg didn’t really hurt much at all, but they were a bit tired. Ran the From home around the steel bridge and back.

Weather was not all that nice. Bouts of rain mixed with sun, but breezy and not as nice as yesterday.

Finally had a run where my legs actually felt fresh. I have been running with my legs having to work so hard against my IT band that they always felt tired. My leg may have actully been much better today.

Glorious Trail running

runfaster99 — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 23:30:00 +0000

What a great day for a run. Sun was out. Got out of work early enough to go to the trails. Had a really good run as well. Leg bothered me a little in the beginning going up the hill, but seemed to be pretty darn good on the way back down the hill. It was nice to have the large negative split again.

Didn’t really want to get up, but I somehow drug myself out of bed. I have begun to realize that as long as I have my coffee set to brew @ 4am, I will get up and go. Seems I really hate to waste a cup coffee. Since there is not much in the line of Eye Candy in the 4:30am group (they show up @ 5:30am), something has to get me to the gym.

Not a bad run

runfaster99 — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:30:00 +0000

Sun was out, the wind was still blowing, but temps about 60. Leg was about the same. Hurt for the first 12 minutes, rubbed and stretched and seem to be better. Had my Chiropractic appointment along with massage, so that was relaxing.

Tried Kinesio Tape during my run. Not really sure if it helped, and my skin is really sensitive, so I am not sure if I can keep it on as long as they would like.

Happy St Paddy’s Day

runfaster99 — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 00:30:00 +0000

Had a nice fast run with out feeling green. Sun was out, birds were singing, was pretty breezy, but what a nice day. The Sad part was, I ran the same pace per mile today on a training run as I did on Sunday at the race.

Had a tail wind going out so I was surprised to run faster on the way back into the wind. Leg hurt for the first 11 minutes, and had to stop twice, but after that it was pretty good.

Starting to drink more water at work and foam rollering at night. I am hopeful that I will soon turn the corner on this IT Band issue.

Tired legs, but OK time

runfaster99 — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 00:30:00 +0000

I am always amazed how just having the time change forward can make my runs faster. I still feel almost as bad, I don’t feel like I am pushing the pace at all, but yet I am faster. Frustrating that I cant seem to be faster at race time.

Sit Ups (6 x 25), Push Ups (6 x 20), foam roller, and Lots of stretching, and yes, I was actually able to touch the floor during one of the stretches.

Didn’t sleep that well last night, so I figured since I am awake anyway, I’ll go to the gym. Pre menstral so I am feeling pretty bloated, felt like I should have worn a shirt over my running bra.
