new year, new injuries... & ATX DC Race 5

Wednesday - 4.5 miles, easy, On Escarpment road... felt okay, hips and achilles alternated asking me "are we there yet?"; Today was the first run since last Saturday which was the first since the Sunday before. (white/lime)

**Break until Sunday, January 25 (3M Half Marathon); will use the time to stretch and possibly strengthen my abs and hips**

Sunday - January 25 - 3M Half Marathon, 1 hour 39 min., 7:33 pace, felt good with slight discomfort in right calve... (even had a 2 minute restroom break in there... so really "unofficially" ran a 1:37 which is a 7:27 pace... had IT band worked on after race, as well as right calve issue (Yellow)

**will work on stretching IT Band over the next 5 days**possible massage toward week's end as well**

Praise the Lord for the opportunity & ability to run; should it come again soon, i will consider myself doubly blessed.
