    goodTM Run – 5.01 mi / 00:49 09:52 pace

    I didn't have a specific goal mileage today, since I'm still testing the left ITB. I would have gone further but I wanted to play it safe. Aside from the ITB, my right ankle started flaring out. I realized it was more "form" related than a... read more

    greatTM Run - Semi ChiRunning – 3.12 mi / 00:29 09:17 pace

    I took 2 electrolyte tablets before both workouts. A nice change in comparison to Gatorade, which usually upsets my stomach. So far, I think I have found a solution to that dilemma. I was playing with my pace on the TM while practicing ChiRunning. ... read more

    greatMacGyver Miles – 5.11 mi / 00:18 17.1mph pace

    Warm up before my run. I challenged myself on the last 1.11mi and sped up to 20mph max. Glorious feeling not having issues with the left ITB so far. =)

    Reality bites, especially when the ITB reminds you that. Therefore, LIM for me is now LI Half.... FIVE TWO TEN here I come!

      Glad to see you listen to your body (I'm a living proof that ignoring it doesn't pay off). Lots of luck with your last two month of training! I'm sure you'll do great!

      Thank you for all your wonderful words. I really appreciate the support. It's tough having a 6-8 miler run on your mind and not being able to do it. ITB is feeling ok today so I may go for a short run later. Crossing my fingers... =)

      Thanks you guys!
      @Barbara - Thank you, I hope you recover fast too and keep us posted on your recovery.
      @Ally - I'm sorry to hear about your back/hips. I hope you recover just in time. But it's always best to listen to your body.
      @Nolan - I hope you won't need it later at all!! Keep up the runs safely!
      @Alex - I can't be sure, and I can't speak for others. But last year, at this time, I was not injured at all...it is weird isn't it?

    I started easy with a 10:30 pace to make sure the left ITB was ok. I didn't feel any twinge so I slowly sped up. By 1.75mi, the twinge started again. I slowed down and when it went away, I sped up again until the last mile +.44 with a fluctua... read more
