Yep, back on the healthy diet bandwagon for me too, after I finish off the leftover french toast from yesterday morning (I haven't cooked french toast THAT good in years )

Brought DS #1 to work with me this morning for swim lessons, 30 minutes in my office and I'm thinking he's going to daycare as soon as he's done (even if it does cost me a gallon of gas)

geauxtri - 2008-06-16 11:30 AM Hey Pam... when you've done the ice baths for your hip, how long do you allow yourself to sit and do you heat it several minutes later and then stretch???
I think I really did a number on my IT band this Sat... It even hurts just to lie on my side.

Ouch. This is what I have done immediately after a workout. First, stretch. I will squat my right foot crossed over my left knee for 30 seconds per leg. Make sure your left knee does not bend past your left foot. (and vice versa when you switch sides). Another good IT stretch is to lay on your back and bend one leg so the heel of the foot is almost touching your hip. Also, lay on your side on the bed and bend the top leg at a 90 degree angle and allow it to dangle off the side of the bed. Your weight should be on the opposite shoulder. You can even get your husband or kids to help push that shoulder into the bed so you get a good stretch. After stretching, I do the ice bath. I can usually tolerate 15 minutes of this. After the ice bath, I take ibuprofen. If you have a foam roller, this works wonders on IT band. Also the stick is good, but very painful when the IT bands are inflamed. I have to have someone else use the stick because I won't press hard enough to get it to release. I wish I could give you a timeframe for recovery, but I'm already over a week off and I still feel it

UGH!!!  Thanks for the additional pain tips   Sounds like I'm on the right track minus the ice bath and kids pushing on me (of course they do try to puch me around in other ways ) 

So I think tonight's plan will include.... heat then stretch then ice bath and IB (maybe with a beer too)...

My favorite stretch so far has been standing next to an non-moving object (ie counter top or dresser) and pushing with inside arm while bending towards it while weight on outside leg to stretch the IT band of that leg.

So I've been using the google mapping here on BT for mileage, I wonder how accurate THAT is???

I've noticed that sometimes the distances are different depending on how zoomed in I am when I mark it.

Any comparisons with it?

I used it on a long bike ride.  It was within about 0.2 miles over 27.5 miles. I think it is more accurate when you zoom in closer and make your points closer together.

Shhh. But I think the REAL SECRET GOAL of most of us is to catch Beth. Except for Scott. He's already beyond that. Um, and regarding that SECRET GOAL: I don't think it'll ever happen. She just posts WAYYYY too fast.

My secret goal is to catch you and Cat.  Then again, it's not really all that much of a secret.

Well, if we post a lot on Nibbs before he gets back, he may never see it.

Ooh!  I can help with that!!

unless it's posted on the same page as a reference to him owing Kendra a pic - that usually brings him out

Er, nope. I'd kind of guessed that. My secret goal was to move past Cat. I did that, so next I need to get past, um.... need to go check.... Comet and Sharkie.

I guess I need to move past Scout - I think I'm making progress
