Back on the road

Ok I saw the doctor yesterday; he confirmed it’s the IT band. He set me up with massage therapy.

Today I had my first appointment with the massage therapist. She showed me some stretches and started working on my IT band. She seems optimistic the problem will go away.

Both she and the doctor said I should keep running, as long as I stop before I feel any pain. So I ran a leisurely 3.5 K tonight, making sure to stop when I felt anything going on with me knee. Threw a bag of frozen peas on it when I got home, just in case. So far so good!

I’ll try again tonight and see what happens!
