Yes, you could log. If you have outliers in your independent variable, a log transformation could reduce the influence of those observation.

Normality assumption for linear regression is The assumption of normality is whether for residual errors or predictor variavble?

When we conduct linear regression, there are several assumptions. The assumption of normality is whether the residual errors are normally distributed, not whether a predictor is normal?
