ITB Flare Up
Maybe its because of the extra distance that I did last weekend, or just my general stress level right now. Who knows. But this morning, when I got up at 5am for my Tuesday 7-miler, my ITB was tight. Really tight. Tight as in I could feel it just walking to the alarm clock. So I did the sensible thing - turned it off, sighed, and went back to bed. I then proceeded to oversleep, so I probably needed the rest anyway.
I would really like this injury to just go away. I’ve been told by a massuse that I would benefit from seeing a chiropractor because my hips are slightly out of alignment - maybe its related? I should probably go and do that, but there’s so much other stuff going on I hate to add a new set of appointments to the middle of it.
Still. I packed my running gear, so if its still light when I get out of the office, and my leg is feeling better, I can go run. If not… there’s always tomorrow.

Alarm clocks are the work of Satan.
Do you wear an orthotic to help align your hips?
(Can you sense that I’m all aglow right now? I am. I’m freakin’ toxic.)

No, I don’t. I really haven’t done anything about it. In fact, I didn’t even know that I was out of alignment until I started getting massages leading up to the marathon, and by that point I didn’t want to change anything drastic or start any new treatments, etc. But now I really don’t have much of an excuse, other than recovering from April 15th.
