I didn't have a specific goal mileage today, since I'm still testing the left ITB. I would have gone further but I wanted to play it safe. Aside from the ITB, my right ankle started flaring out. I realized it was more "form" related than anything else. So, I listened to the ChiRunning form (reminder) and relaxed my body, it soon stopped hurting. I hope everyone is having a great weekend, despite the rainy/windy weather we're having here in the NE.

    Very cool that you kept form in mind and when you adjusted it the pain went away :) Nice run!

    Nice call on the ChiRiunning, I'm SO inspired to get started. I'm glad your ITB is continuing getting better.
    We missed out on the rain/wind here in Japan, but I did had a couple of earthquakes thrown at me. Hope you had a nice weekend too :)

    I have an ITB issue that bothers my hip. Try side leg raises. It seems to help.
