Well this will be the first
Saturday I won’t get to run in over 4 months. I am very sad. :( I want to run, I really do, and I may go
walking later (and possibly run a litle). But I should really take the day
off. I did 3 miles last night very fast
and I think that has finally aggravated my IT band to the point it really hurts
to walk. Darn! So for those who aren’t familiar, the IT band is a sort of tendon
(?) that runs along the outside of your leg from your pelvis to your knee. It is important for stabilizing the knee
during running. Apparently, I’m not
alone, this injury affects 12% of runners.
My pain is above my knee, almost right in the middle of my leg. I have
been told to get a foam roller to stretch it out and hopefully ease my pain. Later
tonight I’m off to Sports Authority to get yet another training tool. I’m
disappointed that I will miss a Saturday. Saturdays are typically been my long
run day and I do between 4-6 miles. Not today. If I do any running it would be
2 miles at most. I don’t want to make it
worse! Swimming would have been a good activity to do
today to cross train but, I worked today. Blah. I got home just in time for our
new coach to be delivered. Yay! I love it. It is very comfy to sit on, I’m so
happy!
Assuming I don’t run today
here are my weekly training recap:
