Bring 'em out, bring 'em out.

I need to stretch more. During a tennis match I went down hard on my right knee and since then the little scratch has healed, but the tightness in my IT band has stayed with me. About two miles into a run and then for the rest of the effort, I have this nagging pain in my left hip. It's the kind of hurt that just stays with you, the kind you can't think away but isn't day-ending. So tonight, with just two days left in my taper before the relay, I think I'm going to hit the treadmill in a big way. The plan is to run at race pace for 5 miles and then push it the last one, cool down for one, and then a little runner yoga to cap it all off. Tomorrow I'll go out with mike maybe for a 2-4 mile easy jog and then nothing on thursday except the drive to my mom's house and a little pre-race laundry. See you later.
