I have been negligent in my blogging as you can tell. I am exhausted from the 9 mile run this morning. I have been trying to sneak in a nap all day and have not been fortunate enough to get one in due to interruptions from either Madison or Tom (mostly Madison, the dog). Well so much for that. If I do succeed at this time I will never get to sleep tonight and I like my rest. J
Today’s run was not too awfully bad. I beat my time from last week by running the course in 1 hour and 35 or so minutes. Oh, I listened to Cheryl about the Illioid T***** (knee pain) something or other regarding knee pain plus what Mark said and it worked. I finally added ice to the regime! I know I was supposed to do the cold bath and ice after these long runs, but just haven't gotten up the nerve. I did try once but failed miserably. Hope you guys have better luck on the ice baths. I will stick to icing my knees!!!

That iliotibial band stuff will really mess up your day. I had that a few years back, tried new shoes (stability shoes b/c I overpronate), then bought SuperFeet inserts, which work now but didn't then to get me over the pain. I went to a podiatrist (I can recommend a great one if you need it) and she made me custom inserts, which worked like MAGIC. I've had no more problems since then, now only use the SuperFeet and run in the correct shoes for my overpronation, and I'm all set. Tell them at Fleet Feet next time you get shoes about your IT band issues, and they will fix you up. If that doesn't work, my podiatrist ROCKS!!
