Making some more blood

A new week of training begins...the pint I lost last week could be a factor.
Mon 3/13 - Ran a 10K on the treadmill in 46:24. No issues. Just a little tired, and had to take a little break in the middle. First 3 miles in 29:01 (then slower).
Tue 3/14 - Rest. No crosstraining.
Wed 3/15 - Ran 4 miles on treadmill, with some problems. The bad (left) knee was painful when I was done.
Thu 3/16 - Went to Athletico to investigate knee issue. Apparently it's IT band related - the ligaments are rubbing on the lower part of the femur (condyle) and becoming irritated. Rest, stretching, lower mileage prescribed. Did not run today.
Fri 3/17 - Rest. No running. Feeling guilty.
Sat 3/18 - Ran 6 miles in 47:50. This was near home, so flat terrain. Also ate a goo beforehand, so this may have helped. Started at slow pace (8:00) and just maintained it for the rest of the run. Running in home terrain seemed easier than on the path, since the 2 mile loop is a nice way to divide up the mileage.
Sun 3/19 - Rest! Gearing up for run on Monday - will have to take it easy and watch out for injury. I'm thinking about starting hockey again for my crosstraining effort on Tuesday.

By the way, here's a great article about IT band injury, including how to diagnose as well as stretching tips.
