This blog is about my running experience. I am not a physician, nutritionist or personal trainer. I am a runner. I do not know it all. I am only writing from my own experiences. I finished my first marathon on June 3, 2012. Who knows where my feet will take me next!

Weekly Report

My left IT Band has been a little tight this week.  I'm using the foam roller daily - before and after running.  It hasn't improved much, but I don't think it's getting any worse.  I missed my distance goal for the week by a little over a mile. I'm now at 144.6  KM for the month - 55.4 KM to go to reach 200!  I'll have my Thanksgiving week plan up tomorrow.

Sunday
Rested

Monday
Ran 9.29 miles in 1:39:23, 10:42 pace
Watched the moon set over Diamond Head.
Also walked 2.3 miles.


This week Strava had a different challenge going "Any Way 10k" - run a 10K, any location, any time.  So I earned my finisher's badge:
Tuesday
Ran 4.9 miles in 1:10:43, 14:26 pace
This is when I first noticed tightness in my IT Band.  I slowed way down and did quite a bit of walking.  I really don't want to be sidelined by an injury!
Also walked 2.1 miles

Wednesday
Walked 2.6 miles 

Thursday
Ran 5.75 miles in 1:00:56, 10:36 pace
IT band was still cranky but I knew we were getting ready to fly home and wanted to do something before sitting for hours!

I earned the 120 KM badge after Thursday's run.

Friday
Rested.  I wanted to do a trail run but the wind was howling, gusts of over 45 mph - no thanks!

Saturday
Ran 10.01 miles in 1:59:25, 11:56 pace
The wind was still blowing - about 15 mph with gusts over 35 mph.  This wind is also cold - I really wanted to stay in bed!  But I survived.

Total
Running  29.95
Walking 7.00
Total miles:   36.95
