Yesterday I was supposed to go 7, went 9 instead. Felt a twinge of the knee thing around mile 7.5 but not enough to stop. Again, felt perfect once I stopped running.
Today went for my 11, it acted up near the halfway mark. I ended up walking home 2.5 miles. I’m pissed and unhappy. Will be taking 2 days off for sure, possibly 3. Sigh.
That’s it for now.
Edited to add: I think it’s the IT Band after all. This is actually not bad news, because at least I know how to attack it: Ice, rolling and Ibuprofen for the next 3 days, then stretches. I can handle this.
Another edit: And I’ve just learned that poking and prodding the affected area was not the smartest idea.
The I can’t shut up today edit: Neglected to mention I fell flat on my face again, too, on the same little mud trail. I didn’t get hurt or even very dirty and the best part was no one saw me, but still…sucks, right? Kind of funny though.
