My IT Band Syndrome is starting to subside, despite running on it for the last four days. I met Karen this morning on Back Bay Road for an easy 50 minutes flat. Somehow, I managed to run down Jamboree without pain, but had some discomfort for most of the run. We kept a much slower and relaxed pace today (7:30ish I think) so I don't think I aggravated anything. In other news, my left shoulder and chest area are about 90% recovered, so that's one less nuissance to worry about. Total for the day was 6.5 miles.
I headed back to ProSport during my lunch hour for PT. Nancy, my trainer, drilled on my quad and IT band for about 30 minutes as I let out pathetic whimpers. I definitely limped off the massage table after that. Next, I went through about 8 strengthening drills, then hopped back on the massage table for ice and stim.
Tomorrow is an off day (and travel day - Rachel's Penn graduation), and I'll probably skip Monday as well. I'm hoping to feel normal by Wednesday so I attack this duathlon next weekend.
About Me

- I ran cross country and track and field for Yale. Then spent five years working for the Bond King in Newport Beach. Now, I'm pursuing my M.B.A at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. In between all of that, I like to run, bike, swim, and race a little. This is both a training blog and a chronicle of those events.
