Another day in paradise! I just love days that I get to work for my three hour shift, teaching something I love, ITband and planta faciaitis to be exact. Then off the to the pool to swim for an hour, then home to make my favorite all time meal. Bean tacos!
In working on the IT band today as well as the plantar faciatis I discovered a great link. It is called Ktape. It is really cool tape that you can buy to tape yourself all up and help you feel better. I have always used tape, just any ole tape I have laying around usually. These ones are actually made to stick and unlike duct tape don't take your skin and hair off when you remove them. Now that is a real plus in my book.
They even showed a great tape trick for the low back. I may have to buy some of their handy dandy tape and forgo the torture of trying to remove packing tape from my IT band. During one marathon I was so desperate I tied two latex gloves together from the aid station and wrapped my IT band. I was able to finish the marathon and did not suffer the rest of the race.
Tomorrow will be a bright sunny morning run and three hours of sciatica, and frozen shoulder! Doesn't get any better than that.

MARATHON WEEK ONE
One week of training down fifteen to go! Lets see I ended the week on Saturday with my back out, again, and the mother of all fever blisters on my lip and the stomach flu, but by golly I finished the whole week.
It is a pretty easy training schedule and was actually a little less mileage than we had been doing. I guess since I wanted to lose a few pounds before the marathon the stomach flu was a little boost in that direction.
I also got a massage on Monday, and boy did I need it. I always have IT band problems with my left leg and my lovely therapist knew just where to dig, I mean work. It really helped with my crazy hip problem and hopefully I can continue with the massages the whole training period.
Now I just have to find someone to massage Rebekah every week until the marathon, any volunteers? We only have three massage therapists living in the house!
