Mid Six and ITB
Today's Run: 6.13
Run Time: 1:10:48
Total Miles to Date: 190.5
Thoughts on the Run:
It's late and I'm up super early tomorrow to catch a flight into Boston, so I'll make this brief. Had a long (productive) day today, and did not have a chance to run. Of course, coming home, I had the typical excuses (it's late, dark, cold, etc) and then I realized ... wow, those are perfect conditions for practicing for an ultra. From what I've read, they are run late or early when it's dark and cold ... LOL. So I headed out.
Did an easy 6-mile out-and-back. The ITB is still tender. In fact, while I did the full loop at an easy 11-minute pace, when I stopped the left knee was stiff. After some thorough stretching and simply moving it through the full range of motion, it feels good. I may ice it - definitely not out of the woods yet with the injury so I'll take it day by day. This is an improvement, the last longer run I was totally incapacitated after the run, this time it was only stiff and worked itself loose. Obviously don't want to push it.

1 bowl of Koala Crisp cereal (organic Cocoa Pebbles)
