ARSHS. Early a.m. First run back since the marathon. The only area that seemed to bother me in the beginning was my R outside ankle due to an old blister from the marathon. My shoe was just rubing on there during the short run. No pain except when I got to about 2.25 mile, then I did notice my IT band flarring up some. I just completed my 3 miles. I know it will be a gradual entrance back into running after that race. I know that I still need to keep it easy. It felt so good to be running again though! I really missed it!

Way to go lady! You rock. Even though my ITB didn't bother me during the race, it hates me now. I hope that's not going to be a long-term thing....! I think the muscles are still so tight even though the soreness is gone.

Oh no, you have some IT band pain too....I think that is common after a big race like this. I don't think it will be long term. Just gotta take it easy!

Thanks Lisa, me too! I ran yesturday and it seemed to be fairly good. I think the more time that passes the more it is improving.
