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.
