My leg was really sore all day yesterday. I used the "Ice Man" and that helped. This morning, I was careful to not overdo it so I kept the pace slow and only ran 5 miles. It was starting to hurt around mile 4 but it feels ok now. I might do a couple more late tonight.

PM:  Hit the treadmill again in the evening.  It was a struggle.  Too soon after dinner and I now have the full blown cold that my family had.  Probably a waste of time, but at least I am trying.

IT band pain usually is caused by tightness in the glutes and Tensor Fascia Latae. Google stretches for TFL, piriformis, and glutes. Deep tissue massage throughout your pelvis and especially the glues should make a difference. As far as ice, freeze a small dixie cup and do an ice massage across the IT band insertion. Ice massage should last about 7 minutes or until the area numbs, any longer and you risk frost bite. If you have access to a foam roller you can roll out the IT band and the glutes. Good luck, and I hope you are healthy soon. By the way, does it hurt walking down the stairs. IT band pain is usually worse with the knee at 45 degree during the stance phase of running gait. Going down stairs will often replicate the pain.
