    LOL! No, I'm not *that* into pain However, I can feel that my ~2 month old roller is breaking down already, and there are some spots (about halfway up the outside of my thigh, but to the inside of the IT band) that it's not releasing. I guess they're either too deep or too tight for the roller So I've been looking around to see what else is out there, and that Grid thingy caught my eye.

    By the way, how cool is this? http://www.gwc.maricopa.edu/class/bi...uscle/leg1.htm

    Oh, that's WAY cool! Thanks for the link!

    All it needs is a set of cutaways for the deep muscles (says the gal who's about 98% sure it's her vastus intermedialis that's nearly healed, but still has no idea how she strained it...).

    But I'm definitely going to spend some time exploring that site's other anatomy tutorials (link at the bottom of the page).

    Turkey Trot update

    I am way behind on posting. VERY busy weekend and so far busy at work (darn it!)

    Turkey Trot: Plan was to walk/run with friends. But one friend was not feeling very well so they planned to walk. I could not justify sacraficing 3 miles of training for a walk. So they said--go on. And I did! So weaving in and out of the crowd and continuously passing folks resulted in a 30:36 finish time. Not to shabby. I was very pleased w/ my time.

    On Friday I did an 8 mile run. I was at my folks. They are more central FL so I had some rolling hills in the neighborhood. So it was cool and a bit hilly adn I had a great run. Smidge under an 11 min mile. So that is still in my training ranged.

    Kaci---awesome job to finish under 2 hours. (My dream!!)
    Colby--so sorry you had the crud. I know you would of had an even more awesome finish. But even sick you make your "goal".

    Off to update this weeks running thread...
