Well well well, My Michelle...
I rolled and stretched and rolled and stretched but I dont think it was enough. Whats missing? Time. Just gotta give the ITB more time. I set off for my run this morning with my partner and I guess I knew from the beginning what was going to happen. Once you have that doubt in your mind, there isnt much room for anything else. After 2 miles I could feel the hips tighten and minimal discomfort in my left knee (Odd- it was the right all week!) I knew when she finished her 5, that I would be finishing with her.
I think, no I know I made the right decision. Later at the pool with the kiddos- the legs were kinda aching. Ultimately I am happy with my decision, but bugger- I am disappointed. And yes, I keep questioning decision, "but nothing hurt when I was running, I felt fine, I probably couldve made it," BUT I would have been disabled ALL week if not more for just plain out pushing it too far.
So, I still have right at 2 months left. PLENTY OF TIME (the caps is for my benefit more than yours, lol) I have redesigned my game plan and I am pretty darn eager to get out there. And, what is the fun in telling a training story if you dont have an injury to champion over? And. I. Will. Champion... over this little, annoying, nuisance of a band.
Live and learn friends; Lesson # (uhhh. what number am I on???) DONT SKIP THE STRETCHING!! Dont do weights after Wednesday, and listen to your body. The only way to run a marathon is to RUN it- not limp it or walk it...
BTW- spent the REST of the afternoon zombie-like in bed. Feeling fine, just so tired/drained. This injury is in conjunction with Aunt Flo, so gonna cut myself some more slack than usual.
