Back At It

I didn't run yesterday due to time constraints.  It's a good thing though because I'm trying to slowly build back up so as to not get injured.  Too late.  My ankle is still only about 80% but it's to the point where I'm not worried about it any more.  However, after my run at the BST last week I noticed my right IT Band starting to tighten up.  It didn't bother me too much but I knew I'd have to watch it.   Well about 2 miles into my run today it came back, a little harder this time.  I went home and rolled it out good, but I can tell it's going to bother me a bit. 

I won't run again til Saturday just to give it some rest.  I'm ok with that since I'm moving on Thursday anyway.  I'm hoping to pace my dad out at the Antelope Island 50 miler... Well see how it feels then.

Paced my dad from The Ranch to the finish at the Buffalo Run 50 miler.  Huge congrats to him for sticking it out and finishing after dealing with some major issues early on!  I'm so proud of him and had such a great time spending some hours with him on the trail.

My ankle held up really well and my IT Band didn't give me any problems.  It's still tight, but I'm keeping a close eye on it and taking care of it.  I'm hoping to slowly start picking up the mileage this next week.  I'm gonna take a few days off then hopefully start running again on Tuesday, just to make sure I'm fully recovered.  I'll probably shoot for 30 - 35 miles this week and slowly start increasing from there.
