I didn't post yesterday but I did get a 5 mile run in. I really need to spend time stretching after my run and that takes the time I used to post. My IT bands are getting better and my hips aren't hurting all the time. I've tried really hard to get them iced and stretched. I've even been stretching throughout the day (as instructed from my PT) and that has helped so much.

Today I did 4 miles but a little different from just getting it done. The training program I'm doing has me warming up for a mile, then for 2 miles running at goal pace and then cooling down for one mile. This was harder than I thought and it felt great when I was done. My goal pace is around 10:30 per mile. I know. Not very fast but it's where I am and I'm feeling good about it:)

Tomorrow is my day off - yeah! Friday will be a 9 mile run. I'm hoping I can get it done outside but the forecast is for rain. I am not a rain runner. Maybe when it's warmer I will be ;)

I'm still shooting for my 65 pound mark. Last week's weigh in put me 0.8 pounds away. I'm having a huge debate. Do I run before Saturday's weigh in? I have to do 3 miles that day. When I weigh in after a run I'm down 2 pounds. This really throws a wrench in things. Maybe I'll just weigh in before my run. I will probably be up a little but it will be more accurate. Um.

I'm getting excited for my half! I'm wishing it was a little sooner than June 11th but I will definitely be ready!
