It's not much but it is my first road run in almost two weeks since ITBS has hit my left leg and knee. It was great to be back at it!!

Got some new kicks after hitting the 500 mile mark on my previous shoes. Doing some light treadmill work while trying to deal with my IT band issue.

I've been fighting ITBS on my left leg for a couple of weeks so these guys are my new best friends. It sucks when you can't run!

Less than five days until the Portland Holiday Half Marathon! Looking forward to it!

My pace is kinda all over the place. I mainly just focus on finishing the run without stopping. Tonight's run was in 60 degree non-raining weather - nice!
