Hello I T Band
I have been running but I am a terrible runner.
But I guess that's why I thought I would hit this challenge head on. In the past, I saw no reason to run unless it was a sprint to win or pass a grading.
Long distance runners amaze me. A friend of mine talks about the runners high and how she uses it to start her day.
I think I get bored or have no destination so therefore.. why am I doing this?
Well this year I would like to break through, but in doing so, I have discovered new challenges and temporary limitations(I hope!).
Enter..the I T Band. I can hardly stand or walk when it flares up.
I went to the Chiropractor for some "active release" and he pretty much said "suck it up" you are not stretching properly so this is the result.
Bottom line ...if I want to run for longer than 20 minutes there is going to have to be some preparation and attention to leg muscles that I took for granted.
Now its the hunt for some good runner stretches!!
