I'll be keeping up the roller and stretches, too, thanks for the advice you've been giving. <strong> Christi</strong>, so sorry you're dealing with this, too. Hope you see an end to it soon. It's such a mental drag, even without the physical aspect. <strong> Barb</strong>, I'm glad your big race is over and now you'll be able to nip the hamstring beast in the bud. I know it's been plaguing you for a while now. Here's to getting rid of it once and for all!! LARunner, wonderful to hear how it’s not even a problem for you anymore.

It has kept my ITB at bay for over 2 years, and yes, fingers are always crossed on that one. Glad you're feeling great! Yep, foam roller is my BF.

Not exactly the humor I go for :D but there'll be a link on the site where you can make your own shirt, if you like. <strong> Audra</strong>, the race is on!! Just went 9 miles, no stretching needed, and I haven't had Vitamin I since yesterday afternoon, so we'll be tearing up the course on Sunday. Woohoo!! Preston, sorry that happened to you!

Stick with the routine and I think you'll be fine. This has been an issue I've had off and on for years and I've never worn one, I just stay on top of rolling and all my other PT. I do hope you race next week so I have someone to chase! Flo, I’m betting you wont need the strap. Stick with the routine and I think you’ll be fine.

Got an idea for shirt, Front: "Look both ways, save a life" Back:"Runners are everywhere!" Thought of this after the closest near miss with an SUV I have ever had.
