About 15 min. into the run started to feel pain in my knee again. I'm thinking I'm going to have to breakdown and get some custom orthotics. Back in High School I remembered having this same injury and it took me forever to get over it.

It wasn't until I got custom orthotics that the problem went away. I went through a couple pairs of orthotics up to the time I went on an LDS Mission. When I got back from my mission and ran for UVSC I still wore the old pair I had from before my mission and I had no problem with my IT Band. The orthotics finally broke and I didn't get a new pair. However, by then I was getting massages once a week which took care of any issues.

So, I think I'm going to need to break down and get a new set of custom orthotics.

Ran with Bill, Clyde and Dustin. Cut the run short by not going over the Foremaster Hill and met back-up with the guys on the Virgin River Trail South of River Rd. Bill and I stuck together from there back to Worthen Park.

It was nice not to have any pain the whole run. When I came home I did my stretches, massage, exercises and icing.

I'm hoping for another good day tomorrow.

Ran up towards Pine Valley. Went 3 miles up & back. Pushed the pace a little on the way-up, but not enough to say it wasn't "easy". On the way back to the house I did 3 pick-ups/ 400m each at about 5:30 pace. I was a little paranoid during the pickups becuase of my IT Band issue, but I luckly didn't have any problems and my knee had no pain during run as well. However, my IT Band was a little tight at the end of the run, but a little stretching took care of it. In the morning I had an appointment with the Podiatrist for orthotics but I decided to cancel it. I thought I would try a new pair of SuperFeet inserts for $30 before I spend $300 for custom orthotics. They felt great on the run today. Here's a link to SuperFeet

Went out with Clyde, Bill and Matt. After about 4 miles in my IT Band started feeling tight. So, I decided to turn back. Bill had pitty for me so he turn back too. After about a mile from turning around I started having knee pain so I stopped and walked the rest of the way back to Chuckawalla. I was so ticked to have the pain after being so carefull all week. I wasn't even pushing it or anything with the guys.

After leaving the run I went home and soaked in ice water up to my waist. I'm hoping after ice, rest, and stetching the rest of the weekend I'll be able to get out again on Mon.
