Ran easy miles with Mike. Going to keep it really easy this week. Plan on running 8 the rest of the week with hitting a couple faster miles on wed's run. and then probably only 6 on friday in prep for the half this weekend. If anyone thinks i should be doing anything different PLEASE let me know. My leg feels great, saw April on sat and she worked my hamstrings good. She thinks it was from running on the TM last monday. I mentioned to her about this weird pain when I have been doing my core work (in my lower abs). One of my deep hip flexors muscles was strained a little. I need to be stretching my abs after I work them. But in working  on that she asked me if I can get side stitches alot and I told her in the past 3 ms I had gotten 3 really bad ones. She said my diaphram was very very tight and I had some knots that built up in my abs. So she worked those and she said it would make a difference in my breathing. Yeahhh! She showed me how to massage my diaphram myself and keep it loosened up, Had no idea you could massage the diaphram!

Great Job! I was getting so excited to see you while I was running today. Glad you are feeling better!

Hey, it sounds like we have the same plan for the week. I had a tougher week last week so I am planning a little less miles this week and definately a little less speed but how should I know? All sounds good to me. Hope I see you Saturday.
