Back from a much needed vacation in Cabo San Lucas.  Fue muy diverdito y no quise regresar.  I spent 0 minutes running all week!  The IT band over the left knee was unhappy for much of the week, but things improved a bit by the end.  Hopefully, I can get some pain-free running in this week.

2 Miles to test out the leg.  It felt great for 3/4 a mile or so and then it hurt.

No running, but borrowed Paul's TP Quadballer and caused severe pain in my IT band.

No running again, but spent 2 sessions with the Quadballer again.  Still painful.  I expect it will be that way for a few weeks.

Ran 1 mile testing different speeds to see if pain/tightness decreases.  The first half mile was pain free.  The second half was a mix of 8:30 to 6:30 pace.  I didn't notice any significant difference in pain/tightness at those speeds. 

Spent 30 mins doing exercizes and rolling out the IT band afterward.  Very sore during and afterward.

My son woke up at 3am in a coughing fit so I went and got the cough medicine. In my half-sleep I didn't even pay attention to dosage and just filled up the little cup thing. It turns out that I gave him 4+ times the normal dosage (it had codine in it). Hmm, I thought he would sleep it off for a few days but I called poison control to make sure he would be ok. They weren't too happy with me. They ordered me to the ER so he could be monitored. So I spent the morning cuddled with him on the ER bed watching a movie with him. It turns out that instead of getting really sleepy he got all wired and wide awake and chatty. 2.5 hours later I got him back into his own bed. I am now banned from drug dispensing.

By the time I got home, it was time to wake up so a quick 1 mile run and the usual exercises and stretches and then into work. The IT band felt better today than yesterday, but it was done at 1 mile.

Today I still felt ok after a mile so I decided to push my luck.  I made it to 1.25 before it started to hurt again.  I went home and called it a day at 1.5.  So I will call it a long run.  

PM: Leg felt good during my quick jog to the mailbox.  Since I didn't have shoes on, I thought I would try Aaron's advice and go minimalist.  I strapped on a pair of my most minamalish shoes (the Fastwitch) and did my usual mile.  I focused on running on my toes with my heels barely tapping the ground.  Everything felt fine and I enjoyed my jaunt.  Things started to tighten up at a mile so I called it good before it started to hurt.  Is this progress maybe?
