You want to run for many years, not just next week.<BR/><BR/>The good thing is that even while you are off, you can stretch, foam roll, ice and do other stuff to help the ITB pop loose and reduce the inflamation.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13512468867035574112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28167702.post-1160426110780709882006-10-09T13:35:00.000-07:002006-10-09T13:35:00.000-07:00Time off isn't as bad as you might thing - owies a...Time off isn't as bad as you might thing - owies are your body's way of telling you something. Out of curiousity, in addition to your foam roller, have you ever tried 'Walt Reynolds's ITB Special'? The phrase sounds funny, but if you do a search on it, and find a good description, it's a strengthening exercise that does great things for your IT band.Ginger Breadmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024143089442382318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28167702.post-1160402815498623212006-10-09T07:06:00.000-07:002006-10-09T07:06:00.000-07:00Sorry to read about your injury, Sarah.

Took 6 months of physio, a chiropractor, 2 failed attempts at run/walk program and finally, 10 months later, it seems to be on its way to settling down.<BR/><BR/>So... better a little time off now than a lot of time off later.Sarah Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06165906925703092225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28167702.post-1160366539291376912006-10-08T21:02:00.000-07:002006-10-08T21:02:00.000-07:00Vacations are always best for breaks:) I intend to...Vacations are always best for breaks:) I intend to keep mine until I return from Russia after Thanksgiving!Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493291972954387932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28167702.post-1160355799244504422006-10-08T18:03:00.000-07:002006-10-08T18:03:00.000-07:00Now is a good time for a rest indeed.
