For the past month and a half, I have been dealing with Iliotibial Band Syndrome. I tried to get back into full training too fast after my three week Ecuador break. I followed all the short-term tips such as stretching and time off but it’s still there. I can walk around fine, but I can’t run for more than five kilometres before the pain returns. In an effort to get rid of the injury, I am not running for the whole month of May. As a result, no Blue Nose International Marathon. By the middle of April, I knew that there was no way I could get up to distance in time for the race, unless that initial two weeks off helped - which it didn’t. In a couple of weeks, I’m going to dust off the mountain bike and go get muddy. The new marathon goal is The Prince Edward Island Marathon on 14th October.
