Total Distance

My ITB HATES me. It never wants me to run a marathon again.

In the beautiful fall sunshine again - LOVE IT! Got a free hour on campus so ran on the Burke-Gilman trail - this Tuesday day-run thing might work for me. Except now I have to go to class sweaty. Too bad for my classmates!

During the run the ITB felt pretty bad for awhile but seemed to ease up around 4. But then as soon as I stopped it was horribly stiff and painful. Blahhhhh. My hamstrings still feel super tight as well. Yoga and ITB exercises are on the docket for tonight.

Do you have a "Stick"?

I don't - do you recommend it? I have a foam roller which I have been using like crazy and it really really hurts, which I take to mean that I really need to do it! Do you think the Stick does things the foam roller can't? Maybe I need one.

Which one do you have? Do I need the "original" or can I save money and get the "travel stick"?

Same concept as a foam roller only way better! I have the one with red handles. There is a running store in Redmond that has them if you want to try before you buy.

Yoga is awesome I can't wait to start Hot Yoga soon. I hope your knee loosens up and starts to be kind to you:)
