IT band rehab - 8/23

Today's run seemed like a bit of a set back. After running the full 1.8 miles yesterday with no issues, today I started feeling the IT band around the 1.6 mile mark again.

However, there are a few considerations that give me puase to consider it a full set back. First, yesterdays run was around 10:30 pm, and todays was around 1:30 pm - so there was barely more than 12 hours between the two. This is as opposed to the almost 24 hours usually provided between runs. Second, it followed an hour and a half of mowing the lawn (about 3-4 miles worth of walking) as well as another hour and a half or so of walking the dog (another 3 miles or so). So when considering those factors, the fact that it took until 1.8 miles to feel anything is actually a good thing.

Shoes used today were the ones purchased in 10/08.
