No running tonight - I was introduced to my IT band this weekend and can I just say, "OOWWW!"  So, half hour of stretching last night greatly improved things.  Tonight I went to an hour long aerobics class and then did another half hour of stretching, concentrating on both leg's IT band.  I think I'll try running again on Wed. night and see how it goes.  Also did core training tonight.

Rough run tonight after several days off.  Did some sprint work, hips started to tighten up around mile 3 so then I was so worried about my IT bands flaring up again that I didn't enjoy it.  Also did some weight lifting, core work and stretching.

My mileage this week is really sad, however I have had some really good cross-training happening.  I was intending to run last night after step class but a personal trainer grabbed me for a session and I'm not about to pass up a free session!  He had me doing lots of squats and core work - I think I'll be sore later today.....tomorrow will be running for sure.

I love my Saturday runs!  It's the one time during the week that I get to run first thing in the morning rather than after a long day of work and family.  Great run today followed up by some arm strength training and a good session of stretching.  Exactly 45 min to do the 5 miles.
