Team Post Padding (Four-Is-More Challenge) (Page 76)

Did a short trainer ride and then a 2000y swim this morning so I can have a night off. I'm dead tired and think a good 24 hours between workouts will help.

I'll hit my swim goal Saturday and likely my bike goal as well. Run/strength should be done by Monday!

That seems normal for a foam roller.  Try it on your ITB.

Then you can develop a love/hate relationship with it like the rest of us who own one. 

I took a week and a half off from running when I had ITB...just sayin...

Wrong shoes (Nikes) for me, and not following the 10% rule (increase weekly mileage NO MORE than 10% each week)...

I had acute ITBS two years ago that required 6 weeks completely off running and PT for 3 months to get me to the start line of the Chicago Marathon. The pain I'm feeling is definitely ITB inflammation as I've been there before, but it's early stage and can be controlled if I'm careful. Mine is caused from weakness in my hips. My hamstrings are dominant and cause some issues. I need to work on my hips every day, maybe 2x/day just like I did in PT. I need to ice whenever possible and stretch, stretch, stretch. I don't think weeks off are required, but if the pain gets worse, I will knock off the mileage a bit. I've missed so much training already (5 weeks) that this marathon is starting to look like a bad idea. Honestly, more time missed and it's going to be a 26.2 mile not-so-fun run.

Pain-induced impaired thinking.   Hope you feel better... 

Didn't we already establish that we're all crazy?

AHH!!! I wrecked my quads today at football practice! I've got a half mary in less than 2 weeks! What do I do for a dual quad pull?!

I'm sitting here with ice on my legs and this sucks!

I knew there was a reason I liked this team!

10... 

You could easily have made it a full page of 25..

I'm in, but my marathon will be over after the 2nd week.  Motivation to do anything will be tough.

I'm in...  Saw a few others as well.

I am.  I think the last time I missed a challenge was last year when I was injured and depressed.
