I got some bad news from the doc this morning. I got the steroid injection in the IT band as expected, but he said I should take a week off before running again. I was planning on a day or two off, but this took me by surprise. I need to be increasing the mileage and this setback is disappointing. I was thinking I'd be able to do at least 12 miles on Sunday and be able to keep building a couple miles a week on the long runs, but now I'm worried that I will even have to back off the following Sunday given the layoff.
In the meantime, I'll do a lot of swimming this weekend and get on the bike Tuesday night. Really hope the injection does some good, given the lost time. I'm still optimistic that I'll be able to get to 20-21 by Freescale time February 13th. Going to be tenuous getting there...
