Getting Better

I've learned a lot these past few weeks about stretching my IT band and it has helped so much. Last week, I got in 49 miles and even ran a 15 miler on Sunday and felt great! Gosh, I'm so happy to be able to run longer distances again. I have lots of plans this year for running and I would be so bummed if I had to stick to 5K's or 10K's for races.

2011 New Year, New problems

Well, my year hasn't started out great. I'm having IT band problems, but thanks to a free "Ask the Expert" at FootZone, I was able to get some help. So, I started stretching out my gluts and it has helped a lot. Now, I have to everyday in order to keep my knee from hurting. But I did get in 26 miles last week, and my pace was pretty good too. Let's hope I can get a good control of this for the year!!
