Easy jog at Mission Trails, with lots of walking up hills (and down some, too, on the steep ones when it felt like my knee might give out). Absolutely gorgeous out, and I've never seen the hills so green.

This was actually before my run, just walking briskly and trying to warm up my IT band and see if it would hold up to jogging. Took quite a while, but finally felt good.
Right IT band at the insertion point was very sore today. It was worse yesterday, so I took the day off in the hopes it would clear up, but no joy. Loosened up a bit while I ran, but the slightest wrong step made for some painful twinges. Hoping it was caused by running on the concrete, and will be better when I can get back to trails.
Waking up at 0415 (after losing an hour to daylight savings time), driving to Baltimore, and catching a six hour flight to San Diego did not make for a peppy Ginger. But, San Diego! And nice weather! So I hopped on the struggle bus and slogged this one out. Glad I did, too, but holy cow I'm tired now.
