Status: Injured List

I gave my pathetic legs some time off and then I took them out for a short run. I think it was only a mile and a half. The pain came back with a vengeance. I talked with my yoga teacher about the location of the pain and did some research online. It turns out that the problem is inflamation of the Illotibial Band where it connects to my knee. It needs to heal. So that's what I'm doing.

I've learned some stretches that target this area so I do those from time to time. I've increased my yoga frequency so that I'm going almost every work day. Hopefully it will recover and I can ease back into it. The Salt Lake City and Ogden marathons coming up are definitely not a possibility. So sad. :(
