I struggled the last few weeks with consistency because my knee was really bothering me. I'd run with the group one day, then it'd hurt the rest of the day so I'd take off the next. Of course that would help it feel better, so I'd run the next day and start the cycle all over again. Finally I went to see Lisa and she said basically it was just a stuck IT band and hamstring tendon. I was hoping hamstring issues would be over with since I took about 10 months off because of Skylar, but no such luck. It's always going to be an issue and I just need to get over that and be diligent with stretching, strength, etc. Since I saw Lisa I have ran a 3 mile run which was a little rough. Just felt tight all over. Today I ventured out for 10 and was pleasantly surprised with how everything felt. No knee pain. Got in a nice quick soak afterwards and I need to do some of the exercises she showed me tonight and hopefully everything will clear up!
pluses: time with katie and kenna tonight
minues: tired
