.... it's gotta be something else.
The plantar fasciitis is all gone. Completely. No foot pain whatsoever.
BUT, now I've got iliotibial band pain. Ack! After my run today, I rolled out that part of my leg on the floor on a roller, and hopefully that will do the trick.
I'd like to motor ahead and do all that my trainer has said for me to do this week, but I know from past experience that I have to listen to my body and not be stubborn. My goal for this week is to run 250 minutes. I may be a bit short of this. Oh well.
Anyway, I'm doing my first real cooking since Thanksgiving. Once the cornbread is out of the oven, a beautiful picture of it will be going up!

ITBS sucks. I was off for 1.5 years because of it. (foam rolling, ultrasound, stretching, new shoes, etc etc - I tried everything) Take some anti-inflammatories too, and take some time off. Even when it starts small, ITBS can easily be a show stopper. Take it seriously from the start. If you have a sports medicine doctor buddy, see if they'll hook you up with some ultrasound.
Shoes can be an issue. You might need arch support inserts like superfeet. If you wear heels a lot, stay off them for a while.
I'm running again and have been for a year now, but I never trust my IT Band. Ever. I am only running because of chi running (different biomechanics) and I feel my IT band as soon as I get lazy about my form.
Hopefully your ITBS won't be like mine!
maybe you should listen to your body and think about a different sport? Cycling, swimming, yoga - something less brutal on your bod?
Anonymous-- easier said than done. While I do bike and swim during triathlon season, I just don't enjoy them nearly as much as running. I'll keep on running and work through my aches and pains. Nothing I have is serious at this point.
