Well, the IT band is holding up so far. That's definitely a positive. I'm really concentrating on getting in some big bike mileage the next few weeks while I build my run base. I have 1.5 weeks left of base type work and then will start to ramp up for the big dance. Crazy how fast time flys!!
So, one of my friends was talking the other day about how once you hit 30 you start to break down. It's funny because it is true! I have this darn IT Band issue, my back acts up occasionally, I have to stretch more, eat better, etc. Oh well, what's an old guy to do huh? I guess get more sleep!
Excited that the sun is supposed to come back this weekend. I have a big training weekend and some time to spend outdoors with the better half so bring it on sun! Oh, and how about those Ducks gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated! Luckily it was just a regional issue, so we don't have to fret about the jinx!! Can't wait for football season to start!

I'm trying not to make this sound like a sales pitch, but I used to have IT Band issues when I first got into triathlon. I started using Trigger Points's Total Body Package massage kit after every workout in early '08 and have not had a problem since.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure I find your reference to being old valid. I have 12 years on you and that was the excuse I was hoping to use. Sadly I have had some serious back issues this week man. It acts up periodically after training and this week has been especially tough. Family was visiting from out of state and training was limited. Back gave out after a 10k run on Tuesday and I have been taking it very easy since then. Keep blogging man!
