I was thumbing through old posts of mine and came across this one. Its from late July of 2004 when I was training for Chicago, and I had just gotten my first symptoms of ITBS. I could have moved the dates around and it could be the same post I could make today (except maybe [...]

I ran in the neighborhood tonight. About 2.5 miles before I started to feel some discomfort. It wasn’t searing sharp pain, but I know that if it starts to twinge, its doing damage, so I stopped. I iced and took some ibuprofen.
This is basically the strategy I used when I had a similar injury 5 [...]

I spoke too soon.
My 5 mile run on thursday, turned into a 2.2 mile run. My 12 mile run on Saturday, turned into two 2.5 mile runs.
My ITB hurts after about 2 miles. As was the case years ago, if I stop, the pain stops. When I run again, it hurts again. I wore the [...]

Wednesday was supposed to be my appointment with the “foot guy”. They called and moved it to Thursday. So being annoyed and frustrated I went out and ran a little bit to see how my foot felt. No forerunner, no VFF’s, not even running shorts. Just a few jogs down the street to see if [...]

Tonight I had enough. I may pay for it tomorrow but, at least for tonight, I win.
Good night.

I decided to try and walk normal today, to see if my foot would feel ok. It didn’t. I basically just walked from the car to the building, and it was sore already. Its got that sharp, tight pain inside the arch/ankle area again. Like the joint is jammed or needs to crack or something.
The [...]

Maybe its from hobbling around on my heel, or maybe its the ibuprofen, but my left foot feels better than it has in weeks. I jogged across the kitchen and it didn’t hurt. Tomorrow I’m going to try walking normal (you know, heel-to-toe like humans do?) and see how it feels by the end of [...]

Well, my running partner ran 19 miles (her farthest ever!). I’m so proud of her! Although she said she felt tired, she really did look great afterward. I think she is seriously getting stronger and faster. This was one of her fastest (and farthest) long runs yet. Its going to be a great marathon.
I rode [...]

I rode the machine for 45 minutes tonight while watching reruns of Buffy The Vampire Slayer on Hulu.
I forgot how much I liked watch Sarah Michelle Gellar kill monsters with sticks. :)
Tomorrow I ride my bike while my running partner (uh, is she still my running partner when I’m not running?) does her 19 mile [...]
