Well, I have been resting and nursing an ITB issue for over a week now.

But, oddly enough, I got in a 3 hour workout on the gym spin bike by myself today. I didn't intend to. I went over there because I didn't seem to have as much soreness on that bike, and I just thought I'd do an easy spin and see what happened.

I took ibuprofen first, and although I felt twinges throughout the workout, nothing awful. I stopped and did more ITB stretches each hour. My quads are super toasty right now. I purposely held off on angles and so forth that would stress the hams and glutes, or the bottom of the pedal stroke, or seated high tension, as that seems to make the ITB sorer.

Anyhow, I got in a pretty hard workout, including some almost-maximum intervals, and lots of standing work. We will see how it feels later, and tomorrow.

It felt like a lopsided workout...really purposely ignoring a full pedal stroke and ignoring whole muscle groups. But, it let me get in a good workout, and that has improved my mood immensely.
