  1. stretching. oh man. its so easily avoided but your posts always convince me how good it is. i have actually made it a HABIT to use my foam roller every single night for at least 5 minutes. it has seriously made a crazy difference. dare i say that i love it!?!

    racing a half tomorrow!!! get to dress up for it and everything…im pumped!

  2. I get paranoid with a capital P whenever anything seems remotely sore, or tired, or tight. The trick is to give yourself a little reality check, but as with all reality checks that is the hardest thing to do 🙂
    Stretch, stretch, stretch and more stretching – pretend you are Gumby!

  3. Sooo glad I saw this post today. My it band has been giving me fits, and I made the decision to take about a week off…it TERRIFIES me! It’s a cut-back week in my training, so it’s a good week to do it, but what if it doesn’t help? Trying to stay positive. Thanks for the GREAT tips!

    Thanks, also, for the nice comment you left on my blog the other day. Seriously made my day. 🙂

    • stay positive, girl!! injuries may feel like they will never get better, but it’s amazing what a few days of backing off can do…u’re being smart and nipping that thing in the butt soon! i’m sending u all my heal-up fast vibes and u even gave me the perfect idea for my next post!

      aww, i’m glad that my comment put a smile on ur face…u honestly are such an inspiration! 🙂 keep it up and u’ll be back out there ASAP!
