Crushed my long run today, fought through the pain

Dear James, Daniel and Emily,


It was wildlife day out there. First I had to make way for a big raccoon, then barely managed to avoid a skunk. And last I saw some deer, or something else equally large (didn't see the need to go investigate further.) 

It was only 4 miles today, but it felt good to really nail the long run today. My hips have been bothering me since Sunday, more IT band pain. I think this weekend I will have to invest in a foam roller so I can develop a habit of rolling the bands. I think that is cheaper than all the co pays for the PT. I know this is an early stage, and these shorter runs and other core workouts will help resolve this problem in the long term. I just need to focus on what I am doing here and now. The future will take care of itself so long as I take care of what I am doing now. And I think I am doing a good job of that. If I want to focus on something else, think about the past, and how far I have come.
