Craziness! I had a hard time sleeping because I was so excited to see how I'd do on this long run so I finally got up at 5am and went to the gym. As soon as I started running I had a weird pain on the side of my left leg (guessing IT band) but stuck it out for the first 10 miles. I then came home, took some ibuprofin, a GU and went outside for the last six which were a little better but a slower than normal pace at 9:23. Geez, I really want to do the PF full in January so hopefully meeting with a phys. therapist on Monday will help the short time I have left to build up my quads. I thoroughly enjoyed the run outside and could of kept going but could sure feel it after I stopped running!

Looking forward to a recovery run tomorrow to see how it all goes after sticking with ibuprofin today!

Great run! I have done long runs like that where you take a break after about 10 miles. There is nothing wrong with that. Good luck with your IT band. dont overstretch but ice is the key in my opinion. I love PF Changs race down there. I want to do it so bad. I did the full about 4 years ago. fun fun. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Walter, I haven't had time to look up how I'm supposed to treat, so I'm headed out to the sun and pool right this minute with an ice pack! I sure hope it doesn't slow me down, Jeff just suggested I up my week day runs so I sure hope I can!

Good job, Rachel. Icing is good, as well as a ITB stretch and try to roll it out. Rest tomorrow and see what the PT says. Running on the TM could have aggravated it as well.

I got confirmation from the RD that I am in, so I am going to book tickets this weekend based on my run today!

Thanks Jeff, I'm so aggravated about my knee I could cry, perhaps I can get some ultrasound therapy tomorrow too!

Since it hurt right away yesterday as soon as I got to the gym, it might have been the 7 miles intervals I did at the gym on Thurs., I really pushed myself hard but didn't have any pain on Friday, weird!
