I ran out towards Payson today via canal road, 3 miles on my own and I had no pain in the IT band area, but it always felt like it was on the verge of hurting. Average pace was 8:23 and since I am at work I don't have any other info, total time was 27:49. After the 3 miles by myself I stretched and then ran a couple with my son Ethan, and then after that I was able to roll my leg with my new roller, boy could I feel that. I rolled it last night to so I don't know if the extra day off made it feel better or if it was the rolling, but my plan is to roll morning and night and then continue with the stretching and then see how it goes. I had no time for the weight training this morning as I had an appointment out in Lehi with a client and I had no time, so I will try and see if I can find some time after Ethan's Baseball game tonight I really need to stay on track... I also went back to the shoes with some support to see if that helps alleviate the problem, I'm basically trying everything that I can think of to help get this turned around and heading in the right direction!

See ya tomorrow.

Nice work Clay! Sounds like you have a good plan set up! I used to have major knee pains but got new shoes and the problem dissapeared. It was amazing! That's fun that you can run with your son! Nice father/son time!! Keep up the good work~
