Stupid IT Band. I was planning on killing this week before my two week taper but after Monday's speed - hill workout, I may have messed that plan up a little. I want to make sure I don't damage myself any worse. I put in 5 miles tonight at 8:34 AP and then a little slow .8 mile jaunt. My right IT is not killing but I definatley can feel it. I'm still not experienced enough to know if it is better for me to have short slow runs during this period in my training and maybe chance inflaming it worse or if I should just rest for a few days. Oh, the trials & tribulations of trying to complete my first marathon. What a Blast!!! |
