Today I was able to put a nice cap to a decent week of base building. I was up in Logan with my Dad visiting my sister and they hung out for an hour while I hit the roads for an afternoon run. I ran my favorite run (from home) the planet walk via horseshoe park. My legs were feeling loose and good so I let them carry me along at a more of a brisk pace (at least post-injury anyway).
My dad (in massage therapy school) was able to isolate the leg problem to the perma-tight IT band (as we already knew was the problem) but is unable to get it to release. It is equally tight on both legs, but only injured on the right. I plan on focusing on getting that to relax...somehow. I did hit the pool and hot-tub at the hotel on friday and also on sunday to do some heat/cold cycles. Good stuff. Oh, and I can do the breaststoke still with no weird form issues (from the discussion board).
