He is also very active, mostly weight training and he has run 2 half marathons as well. He is very fast without training too hard. 1:28 Half Marathon!!! I am working on being able to keep up with him. Someday when are kids are older we look forward to training together.

I saw Dr. Toronto today. So, it is not my IT Band it is something underneath my IT Band. I can not pronounce it or spell it.... so sorry! He gave me a little something to put in the hill of my shoe and some pills to help the inflamation go down fast. He told me to run 3 miles today and give him a call and let him know how it felt.

Play by play!

Mile 1 No pain, but tightness

Mile 2 Ran past Pizza Hut and the pizza smelt oh so good! No pain, but tight

Mile 3 No pain, but tight.

Whoa Who!!!!!!!! We shall see what Dr. T tells me when I call back today. I plan on seeing all you BBK's on Thurs. (Weather permitting I can get out of Herriman)

I also did my Jillian Micheals circuit. 35 min.

Glad your run was pain-free!

One route here has me going past Pizza Hut on my way home... I can only do that one if I'm coming home before they start making the pizzas otherwise I'm craving pizza the rest of the day!

So happy your run was pain free!!!

Very nice Britta!!

I'm amazed at how those shoe lifts help so many people.

Good news!!

(my guess is that the yoga would be very beneficial for the tightness in your hip as well)

Have a great day!!

That's great about your pain-free run Britta! I assume that Dr. Toronto prescribed 'Prednisone', right?

Oh yeah, and i'm feeling ok, thanks for asking. Just couldn't fit in any running for the last 2 days.

Cal,

It is not prednisone it is celebrex. My hip is a little tender today going up and down stairs but I'm feeling really optimistic that things will get back to the way they were soon.

From Cal on Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 16:02:47

Way cool. It appears that Celebrex has fewer side effects than Prednisone. I hope that does the trick for you!

From britta on Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 16:11:14

Oh good! I hate to take medications. I don't do it unless I absolutley have too. Fewer side effects is good news. Are you coming to BBK tomorrow?

From Cal on Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 16:14:29

If everything falls into place (including the weather), then I will be planning to make it there.

From britta on Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 16:26:35

Same here. I ran outside yesterday and I spent a lot of time trying not to slip. My treadmill just broke though so either way I have to run outside. Either with the BBK or alone. Maybe I will hook up with Scott and Kelli. We need to start our Herriman group!

From Kelli on Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 19:24:05

We do need to start a group here for the bad weather days!! Too scary to actually drive somewhere, plus we have much wider and better lit roads here!!!

Glad to hear it is going well for you, I hope it is the MAGIC pill and lift that will work!!!
