AM - Ran to the store this monring. I haven't been posting lately. I got the end of Dec and beginning of Jan and just got out of the habit of posting. so, I'm happy to get back to it. I'm going to try to remember what I've done and go back a post past dates as best I can.

Since being sick jacked me up so bad with my training I'm 80% positive i'm not going to do the Red Hot 55k the third week in Feb and just run the Dog Town Half instead.

PM - Ran home from the store. My hips and lower back are really giving me a hard time and slowing me down quite a bit. I spent some good time using the lacrose ball on the back and hips, but it's still not getting in like I would like.

AM- 9miles to the store. Used my new UltraSpire Pack to carry my clothes in for the first time. Like there other packs, I really likes it. The shoulder straps and didn't move and felt nice and snug again the body. I wouldn't mind going out and doing something long with it. Hips and Back a little better, but not much.

AM - Went out with Kendra and her group from the house at 7am. I didn't know what the other guys were doing and didn't really feel up to it with my back feeling so jacked. We just went out around the river loop for 10.5 at about 8:30-:40 pace.  After getting home I called Adam and scheduled a massage - I'm really want to get rid of the tighness.

Went and got the massage - I must say it was pretty painful. However, I'm already feeling better. I really hope this will allow me to pick it up a bit more next week.

As far as this week, I was happy to get back to a full week of running. Next week, I'm planning on adding a couple 2/Day runs and get my milage back up again and totally get rid of this back and hip stuff.

AM - Run to the store this morning. Back and hips still acting up. Just took it easy. 9 miles

PM - Ran home via River Rd. I saw Kendra with about a mile to go driving Isaac to school and jumped into the car.  I don't know if I was going fast enough to even call it a run. Planning on spending more time tonight stretching and using the massage ball. 7 miles.

PM - Ran Home from store a new way.  Went Telegraph to 100W Washington, down to the dog pound, bike path to River rd, up River Rd to Brigham Rd and to Bloomington. Great run, I think I will do it again.  However, my IT band was getting really tight on me and locking up.

I decided I need to back way off my running and build a bit smarter. I guess I just lost more than I thought I had since I got sick the middle of Dec.beginning of Jan.

Next week I'm going to start off again and just do 8-10 everyday and spend Feb just building back up to 80-90 miles a week by the first week of March.  I thought I could just just back into my miles - It's the same advice I give to people everyday. I just think I'm exempt sometimes. Lesson learned - again.
