  1. Awww….thanks for this post and for the shout-out! Would you believe I don’t even have a foam roller? Sounds like it might be a good time to get one.

    So happy I found your blog. You definitely know what you’re talking about and every post educates me in some way. And, yes, I will check out the December issue of Running Times. 🙂

  2. Hello!
    First, thankyou for your sweet comment on my blog:)

    I’ve just spent a fair amount of time here reading through your tabs above. Oh my word, what an accident/injury to come back from!! Such a great attitude you have! Also, there is a WEALTH of information on your blog here. Holy smokes. I could sit here and read forever! This is AWESOME! And, I read your article about the parents of runners. My 11 year old daughter is really into running.

    OK-nice to meet you and I’m going to stop commenting and start reading some more again:)

  3. Oh, IT band. I am so lucky that mine hasn’t caused any particular issues (knock on wood), I have started taking a stretching focused pilates class once a week and the instructor thought it prudent to comment on my leg circles and tight hips by saying ‘Wow, just a bit tight there huh?’ then, to further it say ‘and what’s going on with those feet?’.
    I should invest in a foam roller, but torture has never really been my thing. Thanks for the stretching ideas Cait and congratulations on your article in Running Times! Is it going to be a regular thing?
