I'm gonna start by answering Brents blog question.  The doctors appt was for my skin check and the nurse was very polite about my smell.  I was a little embarrassed when she checked my back and had to lift my soaking wet sports bra.  Maybe I gave her a good story to share with her husband after work :)

I let my leg rest and spun Wednesday and Thursday which didn't bother it at all.  It feels like a tendon under my thigh muscle (not the IT band).  When I started my run today I put my IT band strap on my leg that has been hurting just to  see if that helped me get started.  I could feel it just a little but once things loosened up it felt great.  After mile 2 I had to put the IT band strap back on the leg I always wear it because that IT band was saying HELLO.  

Nice sunny, crisp day on the Rail trail.  5 miles out, 5 miles in.  

AP: 10:19 (much better than my last AP of 10:51).
