Yeah, I've had almost chronic ITBS in the other knee (I think I wrote an ode to my ITBS at some point on RA lol) but I've never had it in this knee. Acting completely the same though. It's so frustrating.
I had it for like a whole year. I think graston helped the most. I did all of the strengthening stuff but it never seemed to make a difference. Although I thought maybe planks helped.
No more marathons

Support insoles helped for me while I strengthened my hips and core. For a while there, I couldn't run without them.
I usually have three books going at a time.
one on my ipod for running/walking/mowing the lawn
one on another ipod that's hooked up in my car
one on a kindle that I actually read at bedtime or while lazing away a Saturday afternoon.

PT showed me how to do graston and some other ART/fascia stuff on my own. I agree, that helps the most. Really painful to do on your own though lol
LRB - also put my insoles back in my daily shoes. I haven't worn them in forever, but figure it can't hurt.
So the results of my race got posted. Official time was 20:20. I ended up 3rd overall out of 204. Probably as high an OA finish as I've ever had. Which is pretty cool, although a good indicator of how pathetically slow the field was. Even better indicator - I was only 8 sec behind #2; I lost easily more than that in the wrong turn, so should've ended up in 2nd. Possibly the most telling however was the fact that the 3 finishers immediately behind me were all >50.
Nice!

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.
