Did 12 miles with the group today. Courtney, my running partner today kept a pretty good pace going (ave 9.3 min miles--would have been lower but I slowed her down on purpose for the last 4 miles!). Next Saturday we take it to 20 miles!!
Muscles all felt great, but my right knee continues to give me troubles. I think I am going to have to go see a sports massage specialist for the IT band, I obviously am not going to be able to correct the problem on my own. On the bright side, the left knee felt much better than previously.
Just got out of my first ice bath ... it feels really great now that I can feel my feet again, but damn that was just uncomfortable. Just because I know the question comes up, and hey we're all friends here ... a heated towel placed over those sensitive areas does an amazing job of providing protection!
Non-training related: Hunter has had a set-back. The last round of chemo that was supposed to take his leukemia count from 3% to 0% so he can get his needed bone marrow transplant failed. Lenore & Zen just found out the leukemia is back up to over 95% ... He started another 7 days of chemo starting this morning. If you are reading this blog, please go visit Hunter's blog and send him your well wishes. He is a fighter and is going to win this frakin' war, but needs all the support he can get.
