First, thank you for all the advice on dinner and encouragement. As you can see below, I took everyone's advice and pasta and sauce here I come!!!

Meanwhile, a while back, my socks that I have been using for what seems like forever started "acting up." Aaron mainly diagnosed the problem as lint socks - too many washes and the socks were old and overused. Now these socks were not anything special, no particular runner's sock just a basic adais short sock that worked pretty well, but it was time to replace them. When I went to City Sports to get news ones, I discovered dri-fit socks, I thought I love dri-fit for tee-shirts, why not for socks as well? Aaron's remark was well, where is the sweat going to go - into your shoes? I shrugged at him, figuring that the magical dri-fit would do its job. And things were going well for awhile....it was not until this past week when the gym became a sauna, fun - why is it that there are no fans under my elliptical? I think someone is discriminating against my elliptical - no fans, no tvs, oh well it also means less users to contend with - let others take the "easy" ellipticals, I am hardcore runner, I will take the no tv, no fan one (a story for another time)!!
Anyway, this week I have noticed that my new "magical" socks are...uh...not so magical. They have been slipping (i.e., I keep having to pull them up) and yesterday I noticed I was "gripping" with my toe! oh no!! Now, I am not sure if this is due to my knee/IT band injury or if it is the socks. But I am
thinking hoping it is the socks, which creates a problem.

Having to try a NEW sock for race day?!? Hmmm...I don't know, what is a girl to do!!! Right now the plan is to try and find my original socks at a store and go with them,
but if not, if anyone ever experienced this or has any good suggestions on socks that would be great!
The other issue that has arisen due to warm weather is a need for body glide - "runner's deodarant." Problem again, never used it before. I went out and bought some this week, but I am not sold as of yet. It feels a bit "sticky" and not sure if it is really helping or hurting.
Any other thoughts on body glide?
Finally, yesterday I received a belated birthday present from my Spine Doctor!!! Well I guess it is not really a present, but it is too me. The below is a prescription for anti-inflamattory cream and it is amazing. It is for my neck but the doctor said I can use it elsewhere (or at least try, because it is not made for joints but muscles and is fairly new) - and I have been - my knees, my hip, my hammy, you name it, if it hurts, I tried it! And it is doing the trick!! I am no doctor and can't recommend it professionally to others, but I am personally loving the stuff!
Happy Thursday!!!
