<\/p>\nHi guys!\u00a0 I will probably end up doing my eats post either late this evening or tomorrow.\u00a0 Sorry about that!\u00a0 I was able to get in to see the doc today and that ate up all of my afternoon actually.\u00a0 I’m trying to get this out quickly before I have to jet off to another appointment! <\/p>\n
It is in fact my IT band that is causing me issues.\u00a0 He did a few tests to confirm that.\u00a0 I’m to do stretches at home, ice 3x’s a day, and PT<\/abbr>.\u00a0 I have called and my first PT<\/abbr> appointment is on Tuesday.\u00a0 He said I would definitely be able to still run the 1\/2.\u00a0 I forgot to ask if I should take off from running until I have PT<\/abbr>.\u00a0 He didn’t say not to run so perhaps as long as I keep them short until my appointment I’ll be okay.\u00a0 He also told me that running on the road and sidewalk are not good surfaces.\u00a0 Road is better than sidewalk though.\u00a0 He said that if I’m in my neighborhood and it’s safe enough to switch between running on the right and left sides of the street.\u00a0 What happens is that the road starts to angle downwards as it approaches the curb for drainage purposes.\u00a0 Because of that the surface is uneven and that can cause trouble while running.\u00a0 He also said that for long runs to hit a bike trail or walking path somewhere.\u00a0 I actually have one that is close to my house, I just never went over to it.\u00a0 But I will from now on!<\/p>\n So there you have it!\u00a0 IT band issues and PT<\/abbr>.\u00a0 I see him the week before the 1\/2 so he can assess how I’m doing and feeling.\u00a0 I’m happy because even though PT<\/abbr> is a pain in the butt, I will be able to run this 1\/2.<\/p>\n I can still do this thing!

\u00a0 He’s actually the medical director for the 1\/2 I’m running, so I’m pretty confident that he understands my woes and knows that quitting isn’t an option.\u00a0 He’s also a marathoner and a triathlete, so you know, I’m pretty sure he gets it<\/em>. 
<\/p>\n\u00a0 “We will get you through this 1\/2.” is what he said to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
