Hey gang,

I've been too depressed to hang out on the running thread for a while. I'm *still* rehabbing my left IT band but I'm slowly starting to see some progress. I can now put ALL my weight on the foam roller, where before I could barely stand roll it with my opposite leg on the floor and supporting my weight.

My coach has also slowly been increasing my run intervals. Tomorrow is R6:00 W1:00 x 7 plus 20:00 of w/u & c/d walking. It's been really frustrating and I still can't ride my bike more than 60 minutes without pain.

It's a good thing I have a coach. She's forcing me to be patient. Left to my own devices, I'd be doing stupid things like running and riding through the pain and just making it worse.

Stupid IT band.

Susan
