Well, I did run in the snow this evening and test out the Stabilicers. They are helpful but if there are a few inches of snow on top of ice, you still slide. As for today's run in general, it wasn't so great. Yesterday when I went out, I started having some pain in the inside back part of my left knee--not really bad pain, but uncomfortable enough that I decided to cut the run short. I then poked around my hamstrings etc. looking for trigger points and found a spot that needed some work so rolled a rubber ball under it while sitting on a chair, and have done this a few times since finding the spot. So today I went out to run, and after a little bit the same pain started again; I kept going and it sort of moved to the center back of the knee and toward the end started radiating to the lateral side (close to the IT band area, and this is the same leg where I just had that problem but just had my follow-up with the PT on Monday and she said it looked good and was loosened up nicely). UGH. Not sure if it's all from that trigger point (do they ever get worse before getting better when you start working on them?) or if there's something else going on. All I know is I remember having some twinges in that posterior part of the knee when the whole IT band issue started and don't want to go down THAT road again. Anyone else ever had similar issues? My next run probably won't be until Monday so that will give me a couple more days to work out the kinks and hopefully not have an issue.
