I ran out to mini GU corner this morning and I did it on tired and worn out legs, again! My IT Band started to hurt around mile 4 and it was very painful! With about a mile and a half to go I ran into Mac and ran with her to the house and the pace quickened just a bit but I didn't really let on to the serious pain that I was in, I just kept on running! It was fun running with her it made the last mile or so go real fast;-) I am just so frustrated with all this crap, I want to just quit and let my injuries heal up and be done with the SGM, I know there are people on this blog that are dealing with a heck of a lot more than I am but every run is just so painful that it is taking all of the fun out of it, ya know what I mean... I don't know what to do! Enough complaining now I will call it a day, but I just need to get it off my chest and this seems like the best place, see ya tomorrow;-)

Dude I am feeling for you! Have you been to a physical therapist? I wonder if there is something that they could do to help? I have never had an injury go on for that long. Normally a day or two but never real long. I don't know what to tell you, other than I hope you don't have to quit? Keep your spirit high!

We do this for fun and if you are not having fun anymore you may need a little break.

Will bro I agree with Andy, if it's not fun take some time off, there are more important things in life than the SGM. I am so sorry that it is not fun for you. Your in my prayers.

Guys I still enjoy running but its just hard when you hurt on every run, and its hard to get in any real good training. I can't do hills because of the IT band and I haven't had a real long run in over 2 months, so I might be on my way out for the marathon this year;-( I will probably see how things go for another 4 weeks and then make a decision based on how I am doing at that time.

Thanks for your advice and thanks for checking in on me;-)
