Went to the Orthopedic surgeon today...

Apparently that pain that I had around mile marker five was my foot breaking

And I have IT band issues.

So not only do I have a freaking dorky air cast... I also have to go to physical therapy for my knee.

I look like an idiot. I have a cast on my right foot and I can't bend, step down, step up, etc with my left leg.

I'll know on the 19th if I am clear to run a half marathon on the 24th. But I don't know if I can run it after going three weeks without doing any running.

Chris I have had issues with my IT band as well for the last 7 years or so. It sucks balls, but definitely doesn't have to put you out.

There are some really good stretches, and also make sure to ice it well. I would actually massage it with ice and that helped a ton.

icy/hot works great as well.

Ouch! You should paint your cast.

I hope not. Topher?

The cast is scheduled to be off the week before Sno*Drift.

I am glad I read this thread.

I have been contemplating starting running as a new year's resolution, now I know that is a stupid idea.

I instead will focus my efforts on smoking menthols and being ok with myself for being overweight.

I've had some IT band issues as well - and my hamstrings and calf muscles. I couldn't have done half the exercise I've done this year without getting a regular massage. It felt like a luxury but it's a necessity now. I can give you a referral if you want one.

ITB issues suck. The worst for me was going down stairs in pain.

That's really really really funny and I'm super happy you posted it.

However the IT band is in the knee, not foot.
