Great weather for running :)  My neuroma bugged.  I took my shoe off twice to get it to settle down.  My ITB flared and 8 and then settled down and flared back up just as I was coming home in the last mile.  I had an ice bath.  I have decided that the BOOM! Energy Gel are the BEST! ;)

I just ran around the block to make sure my itb was ok.  I ran home at nearly mile 4 because my knee was twinging a bit.  I will swim tomorrow :)

14 miles.  The miles were not too bad.  at mile 8 I made one of those tube bands for around my ITB.  Seemed to work.  Ice bath after.  My ice bath appears to be in the 40's.  a bit too cold.  Anyway, upon rising after sitting for a while my right hip was VERY painful.  It eased up after walking around for a while.  It is fine this morning.  Still not sure what to do about the marathon.  I think I need to bail and just run casually but consistently.  I have WAY too much stress right now and I am not sleeping, so I am not recovering like I should.  A little more thought on the matter is required.

got a really nausiating head ache on this run and had to walk a bit.  Life is NUTS!  I am forgetting the marathon for this year.  I have got too much on my mind and am feeling on the verge if major injury.  The ITBS is rearing it's ugly head.  I am just trying to chill....  I need to weed!

Saw Michelle, aka Super Girl, speeding down the canyon on my way to a fun run on the canal trail with Chrisanne.  It was all fun until I got the major barfs again!  I am SO irritated about that. What is it with Wednesday and the BARFS!  It makes me SUPER mad.  Chrisann ran on ahead to get the full five while I looked at an ant hill trying not to hurl. :p  I ran with her when she got back to me and then had to stop again at the very end.

got out at 5am to run so we could make it to the county swim finals on time for Ash...now affectionately known as Bad Ash!  It was an AWESOME race :) The event was the 50 free.  She came into the finals seated in the number one spot, but could she keep it???  She had a slow/bad start but was a full lengh ahead at the flip turn (25 yards).  Her flip turn was crap and she lost her lead.  She kicked it in high gear and caught back up just in time to power in and pull a "Michael Phelps" and out touch the leader.  She beat the other swimmer by .03 seconds.  Just in case you can't see the decimal, it was 3/100ths of a second!!!  Can you tell we are a bit proud of her??? ;)  Man, starts, flip turns, and finishes are where all the money is in swimming! ....unless you are as FAST as Ashley!!! ;D  Her cousins are still swimming.  One of them holds most of the county records.  It's a good thing they are 5 years apart ;D
