Crappy. The last time I ran was 9-8-07. My Half Ironman is 10-7-07. I'm going into being off a whole month from running.

On a more positive note, my IT band feels good. No pain. Since my taper starts in a couple of days, there's no reason for me to push and injure it again.

I did some walking a week ago- 5.5 miles. It was less painful and not as much suffering involved... but dang it was boring. I'm so use to suffering when I run... I was a little bored by not suffering. HA!

Who knows, after the HIM, I might get back to running. Even though my body rejects it.
