Funny that my 50 mile time is faster than my 50K.  Guess that's what happens when your only 50K has over 11,000' of vertical ascent =)

Zion Traverse

Just want to stay happy and healthy.  Bring on whatever that may entail!

Personal:

I started running in April '09 and run to maintain some balance in my life.  Apparently I have an addictive personality so I figure I should do something positive with it.

Didn't make my goal of 14 for the day.  Things felt really good until about 3 miles in then my knee just progressively got worse, and finally came to the point where I knew I had to shut 'er down.  Frustrating to say the least.

Dude, why now? What's going on? Do you think it could have anything to do with the combination of your Altra's and heel-striking (not sure if you still heel-strike)?

Seriously! I'm at a complete loss right now as to wth is going on. I've completely transitioned to a mid-foot strike now (the one positive thing to come out of the last 3 months), so I know it's not because of heel-striking. IT Band is still just too inflamed.

I'm not running at all this week but I'll work on getting fitness back on the eliptical. That's how I got over it two years ago so I'm hoping that works again.

Yikes! Be careful with that knee. I am not a fan of knees right now! At least you were able to get 8 in! yay!

Injuries suck! Hang in there it will come around.
