I haven't been able to run the last couple days.  My left knee is killing me, especially first thing in the morning.  I think it is my IT band.  I managed to get  some miles in today, but they were slow and painful.

As I ran in pain, I thought about what Kory and his family are going through.  He had surgery yesterday and they put a rod in his leg for his broken femur.  He is supposed to be in the ICU for a while so I can't visit him yet.

It was 65 degrees and windy this morning.  I was able to manage 6.53 miles and the IT Band was bearable.  I am still up in the air about the Pocatello Marathon in 8 days.....

It was 56 degrees and muggy since it just rained.  I ran 5.76 miles easy, the IT Band still hurting.
