I have ITBS

Iliotibial band syndrome, that is. It's a common ailment among runners. I've been running a lot recently. Apparently, it was too much. I found a nice, 10-mile loop near my house that goes through a golf course and over a mountain. I believe I mentioned it before. Anyway, I guess the mileage, my old shoes, and/or the mountain have not been good to my iliotibial bands. There's a fair amount of pain where they attach to my tibiae. I have to start a stretching regimen before I can run again, and then only for short distances on flat ground. Of course, I'll have to find some flat ground first.
