Ortho results are in... IT band gets the square for the win. The MRI showed severe inflammation and fluid around the IT band. So, that is good news, right? No tears: structurally it looks "perfect". However, therapy will start with manual "freeing up" of the IT band... translation: pain. Can't wait.

Winter has always been my favorite season. Funny that I'm saying that as someone who loves golf as much as I do. But, really, for running, you can't beat winter. And, running is where I can leave it all behind... even the stress of a bad round of golf. So, when I can't run, I have discovered that winter sucks. I'd love to be out there, even if I were that chick who busted ass on that news report about running in the snow.

Hopefully things will start to turn around for me soon.
