Personal:
I know a secret technique for opening mangos taught me by a Wolof sorcerer. I was briefly a political appointee at the U.N. I am intimately familiar with a disciple of David Hume.
On the elliptical. Couldn't run normally today -- ITB very sore. This is frustrating. Too fast again?

Suggestion: Dixie Cup ice the sore spot three times a day. Freeze water in dixie cups, tear off part of the top, circle the ice on the sore sport for 5 minutes three times a day. Also, lay on you side, put bottom leg over the knee of the top leg and apply pressure down with the bottom leg with pushing up witht he top leg. This is difficult to describe, hold for 40 seconds, three sets. Good luck.

Yes, too fast. I would recommend just jogging for 6 months to build overall injury resiliency before trying speed. Race as little as you can during that time. You will actually run faster in those few races because of having more time to train while healthy.
Brent-- thanks. That sounds better than the one where you lean on the elbow and twist around, which clearly wasn't doing the job.
Sasha-- I know, I know. I'd been running on the track to save wear and tear on the PF, but plodding around in circles at 2:20 a lap was driving me crazy. At least the foot's feeling good enough that I can plod around on the road now.
