So, doing a hill workout on Monday morning because you feel like a badass? Yeah. Repeat with me kids: bad idea. Apparently, hill and speed workouts are what aggravate my IT band. Umm, wtf.
Even with my beloved foam roller, popping Advil like candy, yoga and countless time stretching, my IT band is still so flippin' sore I can hardly walk.
I had scheduled 8 miles for today and forced myself to complete 5.5 at lunch (too tired to run this AM--bad, SP!). And then hobbled out of the gym like a little old lady. Master plan? Get in 3 miles after work.
Ha. Funny story. Not.Going.To.Happen.
And I'm pissed as heck because I have a race this weekend. And it's kind of a big deal.
So frustrating!
I know I need to listen to my body and take care of it so that I don't massively fail come race day, but, I am seriously depressed about this. I've been trying to hard to run safe and this just throws me for a loop.
I felt great all last week even with long mileage in there.
Let's hope I'll feel better tomorrow and can get in my 8 miles then.
This sucks.
Until tomorrow, I will be drowning my sorrows of not running off calories by drinking endless amounts of Diet Coke.
What? It's my happiness.
I wish The Office was on.

Diet Coke = happiness in a can.
Drink the dc sister.
And take an ice bath.
Watch it on Hulu, while taking the bath, drinking diet coke. :)
My personal opinion is anything over 10 miles requires an ice bath. You will feel better the day after.
Jared says sometimes he just cant run, and no big deal shake it off... I think the same thng... just relax and know that tomorrow is another day... xxxoo
I agree,take an ice bath!
I'm so sorry!! I hope that tomorrow is better for you!!! You are going to do amazing this weekend!! :)
I wish the office was on too.
And gosh how I miss some diet coke (the drs had me quit caffeine and then artificial sweeteners.. what is there to live for??!?)
sometimes your body just forces you to take a break. I'm sure you'll be back out there better than ever in no time!
I hate to hear that you are injured just beofre a big race! Ugh... And Major Ef ef ef.
Take it easy friend! You've been kicking butt! Rest up and you'll be fresh for race day!
Oh no!!!!!!!!! Rest up!
some tea and company will do ... ^^
