Total Distance

0.00

I went up American Fork canyon with my family and had a great day getting out of the heat. Did some fly fishing, fire tending and even a little rock climbing, although the rock up AF canyon is horrible.

I did make it to the gym and did 40 minutes of lifting (upper body and core). I am trying to stay off of my feet as much as possible to rest my ITB. I'm still not quite sure what to do to get ready for the marathon this Sat. I want to get in some cardio without working my knee too much. Any suggestions would be great (if anyone is even reading this :-) )

Stretch your IT band like crazy---lots of Yoga hip openers do the trick. I always run some every day the week of a marathon, even a little the day before if I am not traveling to get there. I have decided that running is very personal, however, what works for many people does not always work for me! You just do your best and do what feels good.

I am unfamiliar with this marathon so i am looking forward to READING all about it? It does not happen to go on the trail up or down the canyon does it?

I agree with Kelli. Yoga has helped wonders for me. Maybe get on the bike if you are afraid that the ITs are tight. Good luck this weekend! I am excited to hear about the Provo Marathon.

Kelli/Bec- Thanks for the advise. I need to do more stretching, and I think I'll work my ITB every day. Here is a link to the race:
