....is IT Band Tendonitis. I landed right where it connects to my knee during my fall, and it is apparently just a little angry.
I can live with that. Normally that would not be super news, but I think I can keep it under control until the race. At least I hope I can.
My immediate future looks like I'll be wearing an IT Compression Strap on all my runs, taking NSAIDs afterwards, and resting the day after long runs (and I only have one more long run) to give the IT time to calm down. Also, the doctor prescribed massage. Can't complain about being ordered to get multiple massages in the next few weeks!

| Here is my IT strap. Stunning! |

| I was pretty excited to not even feel my IT during this run. Except right after I took my selfie, I did start to feel it, but it wasn't really painful. Definitely improvement! |

AND IT IS SPRING! FINALLY! I saw about 8 deer on my run in the woods, but I only could catch two of them before they hopped away.

That's good news...or like you siad, better than the alternative news. Hopefully you are in tip top shape for race day!
