And a good one it is :). I have run twice this week and am feeling pretty good, a little out of shape but glad to be running. I had a heart to heart with my lovely PT Kate, who is doubtful that I will be able to finish the marathon. After whining and pleading, I finally just decided that I will do what I can do and if it's meant to be it will be. No sense worrying about it.
I got a little concerned last night when my knee pain reemerged. I pouted into PT this morning and whined a little bit about it. Turns out, this is NEW knee pain!!! Alright, you probably think I'm nuts right now. You're thinking "um, sara, knee pain isn't good". I got news for ya- it's good when it's not your old nagging injury. Because we caught it so early, we can head it off. I got a little soft tissue work (hurts like a mofo) and some 'little plunger' work on my IT band (seriously, there is a little plunger looking therapy tool that she sticks on my leg and is able to separate tissue and loosen it up- it also leaves round hickey-like marks on my leg- SEXY). That and my trusty foam roller and I will be a rockstar!
See my totally hot muscled leg below...
In case you are still wondering... IT stands for "Iliotibial Band".
