"If we don't suffer enough we won't remember it."

1 lousy mile on the treadmill.  My right hamstring hurt really bad, like I was having a pinched nerve.  Got in the hot tub and really dug into my butt muscle to try to work out the problem.

10 miles with Melanie and Melody.  We ran up Provo Canyon a couple of miles then down and around the Riverwoods a couple of times then back to our cars.  Avg 6:56 pace.  The first two and last two were slower.  We ran about 6 miles at a faster pace.

10 miles with Melody and Melanie from Melanie's home in Lehi.  This was a cold somewhat miserable run.  We headed north/east to do our Burger King run, but when we got to the top of the hill at mile 3 the wind was terrible.  We turned around and went back by Melanie's house and headed west towards the Jordan River trail.  About a mile before we were to turn around the wind picked up again, then it seemed to swirl always coming at us from the front or side as we made our way back home.  This run felt 3/4 into the wind.  Avg 7:07

In way too much pain to run today.  My hamstring was so tight that it pulled on my leg and gave me a pinched nerve feeling etc.  Couldn't even walk without pain.  I spent a while sitting in the hot tub digging into it trying to loosen it up.  Melanie even stopped by my house on her way somewhere and put her elbow into it for about 10 min.  By the end of the day it felt a little better, but I still had a big problem. 

14 miles with Melanie.  My leg only hurt a little off and on during the run.  Avg 6:58 pace.  I was hopefull it wouldn't bother me too much later in the day, but when I woke up from a nap it hurt again, but not as bad as after Thursday's run.  I had my husband dig his elbow into it that evening.  I can tell it's making progress.
