Default Started walking/running again...

Very very light. Started at 4.0 mph and slowly moved it to 5 mph. did 1 mile. It still was tight but it isn't hurting right now.

Guess I'm starting from scratch.

So is the 1/2 on Saturday a no-go?

I feel you brother. It really, really sucks to be running great and all of the sudden you're a beginner again. At least I can testify to you that it eventually does heal. Take it SLOW because once you aggravate it again you're starting from the same point you were when you injured it.

This is an IT band right? Have you been icing with an ice cup? That is one of the treatments that is commonly used. what you do is put some water in a paper cup adn stick it in the freezer. Once it is a ice block you can peel away some of the upper paper and expose the ice and use that to ice and massage your IT band. Do this for 5-10 minutes, rubbing the ice along the sore area. This really helped my wife recover and I have seen it used many times in training rooms.

So, I finally purchased new shoes (the old ones had 500 miles on them since Christmas.... that might have been a reason for my IT Band problems). They are nike+ zooms (sorry guys, but I was up at the outlets and couldn't beat the price).

Any whooo

Noticed my leg felt better than it has in a month so I went out again today... 10k through my neighborhood.... ran my fastest 5k (27'07") and 10k (56'36"). I was amazed by that. I knew I was pushing myself but those numbers (for me) are outstanding. My leg feels great as well.

I might be back!

Ease back into it. The worst thing you can do is think you are 100% and then jump right back into your pre-injury miles.

Only 2. I stayed pretty active with swimming and other strength training stuff and still watched what I ate.
