Today I went for a run for the first time since Sunday. My IT band has revolted against me running for two weeks now and shows no end in sight. I took the week off from running and got in three days of barre and two days on the rowing machine. Today I finally went out for an easy four miles and although my leg was sore, there was no burning/stabbing pain. It was a perfect, super windy day and after not running for a week it felt amazing to hit the road – even if it was only four miles. (After my low miles week how appropriate was my fortune tonight when we went out to dinner at our favorite place in Chinatown/DC)
